Feature request: Hardware lock individual vaults

Hello @cobaltjacket! 👋

Thank you for the suggestion! 1Password uses security keys for two-factor authentication however the security of your vaults is primary based on encryption, not authentication. You can read more here:

• Authentication and encryption in the 1Password security model

When 1Password is locked, your account password is required to unlock the app because it is the secret that decrypts the items in your vaults. Requiring a security key to access certain vaults after you've already unlocked 1Password could arguable be a form of "security theatre" since that vault's information would already have been decrypted when you entered your account password and an attacker would just need to locate that decrypted information on your device rather than providing a security key to access the vault in the app.

Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to see such a feature? Let me know if I misunderstood the suggestion.
