Feature Request: PIN code to unlock

Thanks @wobblestheduck

I've passed on your desired to see the feature return to the rest of the team. At this time this is not an available feature in 1Password 8.

I'm wondering why so many useful, and sometimes essential, features have been removed in version 8? When I upgraded I assumed that these features would all still be present, along with improvements. I wasn't expecting them to have been removed.

I've also reverted to 1Password 7 because of the removal of the pin code.

Please do not delete 1p7 from my phone until the PIN code option is available in 8.

I do not like biometric logins. I'm also not storing the Coca-cola formula on my phone, so a 4-digit pin is fine with me. Or even just let me attach it to whatever security measure is on my phone (swipe, pin, password, etc).

My master password is 40 characters long.

Hello @tjtyrrell, thanks for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear a PIN unlock option has been a sticking point for you. I've shared this with the team.

1Password 8 is a new, separate app. You will not be upgraded to it automatically. 1Password 8 is the way forward: with the recent mobile release, our development efforts will be focused there. While I can't make any promises about the development of 1Password, I've added your +1 for a PIN unlock option.

@alexmidd, thanks for your question. We heard a lot of feedback and confusion regarding the lock options in 1Password 7 for Android. How the various settings layered and interacted, was not always clear for those getting started with 1Password for Android. Personally, I've answered a lot of these questions myself. Part of the decision here was to streamline the options available and focus on biometric unlock which is quite popular and available on most contemporary phones.

Thanks again!

Hello @1P_Timothy, thank you for your reply.

I agree that Biometric options are becoming more and more common (not sure if there is a modern phone without it anymore). However, there are a few people, like myself, who are trying to keep what little privacy we have left. To that end, I am sticking with a pin code :).

I appreciate you passing along the feedback.

Another request for the reintroduction of PIN to open. Kind of essential for those of us who do not wish to engage with biometrics.

It is fine typing a long password to unlock on desktop but not on mobile.

Ironically the only workaround is to unlock 1password 8 with 1password 7! Not a long term solution for us.

The biometrics on my phone died, and the PIN feature helps keep my phone out of the landfill.

Yes, please reinstate this feature!!! So time consuming to enter the full length password every time

Feedback noted. Thanks folks.

Another vote for adding the pin code unlock back to 1password 8. All my friends who use 1pass also want the pin code feature back. I think I will shut off face ID in 8, and continue to use 1pass 7 for now. Thanks!
