Please allow PIN unlock in 1P8 Android

+1
I don't use biometrics for anything.
I will probably go back to old version until this is put back...

Hi @tabby93640, @SyrusSilverkin, @rmcf28 and @canbe. Thanks for continuing to share all this feedback! +1's have been added.

@plarguin, thanks for taking the time to expand your earlier point. I can understand your frustration and I'm sorry this has kept you from upgrading to the new app.

With the v8 update, the app is now broken for people like me with a physical disability. I can’t place a finger on a fingerprint scanner nor point my phone at my face, so biometric security is unusable. On top of that, entering the Master Password is something I can only do once in a while since typing by joystick is very labor intensive. Until 1P8 is made accessible, I’ll be sticking with 1P7 and my PIN unlock.

Hello @ABCNCRR, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused.

I've added your +1 and shared your feedback with the teams working on accessibility improvements. If you'd like to share any other feedback or there's anything we can help just let me know!

+1 for PIN unlock. I immediately installed 8 when it was available. I went right back to 7 the same day. Is there an update about when PIN unlock will/will not be set in version 8 ?

Hi @djblais, +1 added. Thanks for sharing your experience with us here. At this time, I do not have any updates to share. When we do, I'll make sure that information gets posted here. Thanks again!

EDIT

I just found out that post :

https://1password.community/discussion/134102/download-1passsord-7-apk

that explains how to install previous version (luckily, I'm an old enough 1password user for having a version 7 installed on another android device[1]

So for now, I stick with version 7 until PIN is avalaible for newer version.

[1] but relying on this method to install previous version is not good because a new 1password suscriber in the same situation could only have access to version 8.

I just get a Samsung S7 FE tab (without fingerprint sensor) , before realizing face recognition was a weak authentication method, I tried to enable it on 1password, that made it crash (with the need to re type my looooooong password each time)

I understand version 7.X has the PIN feature, where can I download the APK of the latest 7 version ?

Kind Regards,

Hi @sidh, thanks for writing in.

1Password 7 for Android is delisted from the Google Play Store. If you have not previously installed 1Password 7 for Android the app is no longer available. If you have previously installed 1Password 7 for Android, it should still be available through your Google Play app history. If there's an issue finding that there are a few different methods I would be happy to help with.

We do not publish a 1Password 7 for Android APK and we cannot verify the authenticity of the app if it is installed from another source.

Apologies if I misunderstood, has there been an issue with 1Password 7 for Android crashing on your tablet?

Hi @1P_Timothy ,

thx for your reply, version 7 is installed on samsung tablet and it is working , but I consider it as a temporary workaround (furthermore newer 1password user facing this problem don´t have this workaround). Do you know if 1password will re-implement PIN option in the next update ?

Hi @sidh, thanks for clarifying that for me.

I'm sorry to say I do not have any information to share regarding when or if PIN unlock will be added to 1Password 8 for Android. Thank you for sharing your interest, I've passed it along to the team.
