Feature Request: PIN code to unlock

Hi @acouzelis thanks for your reply. I can definitely understand your hesitance in regards to how and where your personal biometric data is stored.

On that note, I wanted to share some good news. Per our January 30th blog post (linked below), I can confirm that we will be bringing PIN unlock to the mobile apps. We don't have a specific date as to when that will make it into an update but it is on the horizon!
* Building a better, more useful 1Password

(Also, I promise I'm not a bot 😁)

Thanks for the update ag_timothy, that is welcome news. If you would be so kind as to post in this thread once that update is released, I will install 1Password8 again and give it a shot.

Thank you @1P_Timothy! Good bot. Best bot ever!!! 😁

Seriously - I'll share this update with my department and they'll be so happy.

This is wonderful news. I recently convinced my wife to update her 1Password app so we could get use the family plan and share vaults, and also because I thought it would be a good idea to have the latest version. She upgraded to 1Password 8, deleted 1Password 7...and it was only then we realized she couldn't use her PIN to unlock the app anymore. She is morally opposed to using biometrics to unlock her devices, so using a PIN is her first and only preference. If not for this blog post stating the PIN update is coming, a divorce may have been in my future. So thanks for saving my marriage!

Thanks for the feedback all!

A release went out today with some great new features such as search from item lists and one tap copy. I just wanted to share that PIN unlock did not make it in this release but it shouldn't be too much longer. Thanks in advance for your patience!

Are there any updates on this? It seems like this feature has been been a 1-2 weeks away for months now. It would be great if I could show my wife the PIN feature is back for our anniversary! My marriage hangs in the balance! Thanks!

Hi @metatron320, I'm sorry to say I don't have a timeline on PIN unlock. Compared to the other features detailed on our blog post, PIN unlock was a bigger lift and requires input from a lot of different teams here at 1Password.

I'll be sure to let the teams know that marital bliss may be jeopardized by any delays. Hopefully that will get everyone into gear 😄.

Any update on this? Many corporate policies disallow only using biometrics as a security factor (too risky for exploitation and misuse.) Having a PIN as a required factor for authentication is a key to getting a tool like 1password allowed for use. 1password8's security regression is unfortunate and this regression is a blocker.

Hi @nobiometrics, thanks for following up with us.

I can confirm PIN unlock with 1Password for Android is still on the roadmap but I do not have any specifics to share as to when it will be added to release channels. My apologies for any inconvinience this has caused. With any luck, we won't have too much longer to wait!

2 months later, can we have an update and add another frustrated user to the list? fingerprint sensor on Pixel 7 doesn't work well (for me anyways) so this is another upgrade feels like a downgrade.
