macOS Touch ID No Longer Working: "That Didn't Work"

Hello,

I'm having trouble using Touch ID. I recently removed my fingerprint from macOS Settings and re-added it and now I can no longer use my fingerprint to unlock 1Password.

When I open the desktop application, I'm prompted for my Touch ID but then I get the error "That didn't work. Check your password and try again."

I've tried the following:
* Shutdown my computer, turn it back on again to verify that Touch ID works
* Withing macOS Settings: Turn off all Touch ID settings, remove fingerprint, add fingerprint, turn on all settings
* Within 1Password Settings: Turn off Touch ID and turn it back on

I've even tried https://support.1password.com/uninstall-1password/, reinstalling, and following the steps above, but I get the same error.


1Password Version: 8.10.36
Extension Version: 2.25.1
OS Version: macOS 14.5
Browser: Firefox

I had this issue with my Mac after I added a 2nd finger to Touch ID. Removing it restored expected behavior with Touch ID.

Hello!

I got the same problems with Touch ID and 1Password. I did several things:

  1. complete reinstall of 1Password
  2. disable/enable Touch ID
  3. adding new finger prints in Mac's system pref's

Nothing solves the problem. Unlocking with Apple Watch is still working.

Got the same problem, sent the diagnostics report, support ticket ID is XIT-95167-639.

This this this. Thank you. This solved for me too.

Sounds like a bug 1pass! If I remove the second fingerprint everything immediately starts working. I like having more than one fingerprint. Are you all aware of this issue?

Update: Oh shoot. I made the mistake of removing the working fingerprint in hopes that I could use my preferred finger, but it turns out this bug isn't about having two fingerprints but really that only the first was working for some legacy reason and all new ones don't work...

After gather some info from 1Password team and this forum I think there are two solutions for this issue. Tested and works for me.

  1. Downgrade 1Password to version 8.10.34
    With this version Touch ID works with all configured fingerprints on macOS.

  2. Remove second, third etc. fingerprint and leave only first fingerprint.
    Then upgrade 1Password to 8.10.36 (if you're on 8.10.34 or earlier)
    Touch ID works.

+1 this remains an issue as of 1Password for Mac 8.10.36 (81036049) and appears to be related to having multiple Touch ID fingerprints associated with the logged-in user.
