Please allow PIN unlock in 1P8 Android

So, I have been a 1P user ever since LP got rid of their free tier (wish I had switched sooner). I know it has been said numerous times here but I will add mine too because hopefully there will be enough demand for the feature for them to implement the PIN again.

I have a similar reason for wanting the feature as another user...I have a physical condition that prevents me from using the fingerprint scanner as well as holding the phone at the correct angle for facial recognition to work. In order to use my phone (I have the S22 Ultra) I use the s pen in my mouth most of the time, or I will use my nose/lip. As you can imagine typing can be a literal pain nevermind being slow (glide typing helps for things like this, but not passwords). I think that a balance can be achieved to where it is not quite so difficult to fill passwords which apart from allowing me to be more secure, also speeds up my workflow but is now becoming an obstacle rather than a shortcut.

Please, please, please re-implement this feature. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to have to re-enter my full password each time I want to unlock! To be fair, this is not entirely 1Password's fault; the fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 6a is an absolute dumpster fire of a disaster. It is trash. Garbage. POS. To the point where I can't use it all on my phone, and therefore I can't use it to unlock 1Password.

Please let us use PINs again! 🙏

Hi everyone! Thanks for adding your +1s and sharing this excellent feedback. I have passed this along to the team and hopefully we'll have some updates to share in the not-so-distant future. In the mean time, please let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Yes please!! Pin unlock is desperately needed!

Thanks for chiming in, @vishal206!

PIN unlock is coming soon: https://blog.1password.com/better-more-useful-1password/

Thanks for sharing that @MerryBit! That is correct, PIN unlock will be coming in the not-so-distant future to the mobile apps!

Thanks again for everyone's input on this.

Hey there, I completely understand your frustration with not being able to use the fingerprint scanner or facial recognition due to your physical condition. It's important for software to be accessible to all users, and I hope 1Password takes note of the demand for the PIN to unlock feature.

Thanks for your input! With the excellent and detailed feedback received here and in other channels we did revisit the PIN unlock feature. Check out the blog post MerryBit posted above for more details.

"Soon, you’ll have the ability to use your device PIN code or pattern to unlock 1Password."

Too bad it will be the device PIN. My preference would have been to support a unique 1Password PIN that is different from the device PIN.
