after an update I cannot access my data anymore. 1password opens with facecheck and leads me to a page wirh the options to add my account or use a 14 day test version.

I know my Password, but not the secret key asked for.

Is there any option to reset the software and unlock it by facecehck again?

That sounds really unfortunate, do you have your emergency kit or recovery codes? https://support.1password.com/emergency-kit/ Otherwise I suggest contacting https://1password.com/contact-support to see if they can help recover from the existing backup on your device.

Hello @hpdettmar! 👋

I'm sorry that you're having trouble unlocking 1Password, I know how stressful a situation that can be. As a start, try the suggestions in this article to find your Secret Key:

Find your Secret Key or Setup Code

If that doesn't help then please send an email to support@1Password.com and include a link to this thread. Our support team will ask you a few questions about how you're using 1Password to better understand that situation and help further. After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place.
