Keyboard shortcut to prompt for TouchID?

I am running 1Password for Mac 8.10.50 (81050025). In earlier versions (maybe 1P v7) there used to be a keyboard shortcut accessible from the app's main lock screen where I could activate the modal dialog to authenticate with TouchID. That shortcut allowed me to keep my hands on the keyboard, but now I have to move the mouse cursor over to click the TouchID icon on the right hand side of the password field.

The shortcut is not listed on the official keyboard shortcuts page.

Hey there @killpack

Generally speaking, 1Password should prompt you to use Touch ID on the lock screen automatically.

If it doesn't, or if you cancel the prompt by mistake, you can press ⮐ Enter on the lock screen of 1Password for Mac to prompt it to unlock with Touch ID, so long as your text cursor is focused in the "Enter your password" field.

Hope that helps! :)

Hi Greg, thanks for the quick reply.

Ah perfect, I didn't think of pressing Enter. When I do that, I see the prompt to unlock with TouchID.

FWIW this is what I was seeing, note the TouchID icon on the right. Previously I was mousing over and clicking on it, which was slowing me down and a minor annoyance.
