How do I (or can I) unlock 1Password on iPhone with Apple Watch?

Often when using 1Pass on my iPhone I use Face ID to unlock 1Pass. The problem is that when wearing a COVID mask I have to drop the mask to unlock 1Pass, or type in a password. Is there a way that my Apple Watch, version 9.4 can do the unlocking?

1Password Version: 8.10.4
Extension Version: 2.10.0
OS Version: iOS 16.4.1 (a)

Hello @DHK! 👋

It's not currently possible to unlock 1Password on your iPhone using your Apple Watch. However, if you're using an iPhone 12 or later then you can enable using Face ID with a mask on: Use Face ID while wearing a mask with iPhone 12 and later - Apple Support (CA)

I hope that helps! 🙂

iPhone 11, oh well. Does Apple protocol prevent that?

Since Apple limits the feature to the iPhone 12 or later I believe that using Face ID with a mask must require certain hardware that only exists on later iPhone models.

If you're having trouble using Face ID in certain situations then you can enable passcode unlock so that you can unlock 1Password using your iPhone's passcode if Face ID fails: Use your device passcode to unlock 1Password for iOS

I hope that helps. 🙂
