The new app is asking for the full password every time. How do I re-enable the 4 digit pass code?

Hello @swmcguffin! 👋

1Password 8 doesn't currently include the ability to unlock the app using a PIN code. Instead, I recommend that you enable Touch ID or Face ID unlock instead:

Once enabled, you can unlock 1Password using either your fingerprint or face. If your device doesn't support Touch ID or Face ID unlock then this guide will help you choose a memorable and secure password that will be easier to type in:

I hope that helps! 🙂

You do know Apple removed Touch ID, right? And no, I'm not giving Tim Cook my face print. Re-instate the PIN!

Thank you for the reply. We do have a feature request open to add PIN code unlock to 1Password 8 and, while I can't make any promises, I've added your vote to the feature request so that our product team is aware that you'd like to see this feature return.

If you'd like to read more about the security of Face ID on iOS then I recommend the following articles:

When using Face ID on an iPhone or iPad, your facial data is not stored in 1Password and is never transmitted off of your device. 🙂

Apple didn't scan your Photos either. Until they did. I've canceled my subscription. Have a nice life.

I'm sorry that you're leaving 1Password but I wish you the best. If you ever decide to try 1Password again in the future then we'll be here.

Stay safe out there! 🙂
