Question

Identify app when asking for PIN in Windows Security

Hi,
I use PIN (Windows Hello/TPM) to sign into 1Password on my PC.
But in the prompt there is no app identified, it's just general prompt.

I found other examples of Windows Security prompt where the app is identified.

Can you add identification in the prompt for 1Password so I know it's 1Password that is asking?

Thanks.

Hello @oschif,

Thanks for your message about adding details to the Windows Hello/Windows Security prompt identifying 1Password as the app requesting access. When multiple apps are using Windows Hello, I can certainly understand that identifying the source if the request would be most useful.

1Password hands the responsibility of unlocking over to Windows and I don't believe it is possible for this prompt to identify 1Password as it does in the image provided showing MicrosoftEdge. That being said, I'm happy to pass your feedback along to the Product team to see if this possible and file a feature request for consideration.

Let us know if you have any other suggestions!
