Touch ID keeps getting shut off. I select to use Touch ID in settings. After some time, sometimes overnight, I come back and the box for Touch ID is unselected and I have to type my password. This is on my Desktop Mac Mini at home, so it is set to use Touch ID, and never have to type password. This started about 2-3 nightlies ago.

@Bakj

If you have time please submit a diagnostic report. Can you also try completely quitting 1Password and opening it again? Here's how to do that.

  1. Look for our helper in the menu bar near the WiFi indicator and the clock. Right-click (Option-click) on the helper and select Quit.
  2. Quit your browser.
  3. Open 1Password and check for proper operation.

If you find you need to write in please include the results of that quick test. Thank you.

Hey folks. New beta alert.

https://releases.1password.com/mac/beta/#1password-for-mac-8.10.36-35

  • We’ve fixed an issue where Security settings would be reset or disabled after updating the app.

  • We’ve fixed an issue that caused biometric unlock to reset and a trusted device to be deauthorized if you updated the app while your device was going into sleep mode.

Updated and is working as expected so far.

Thanks for the update, @jfgreco . Please let us know if anything changes. I'm not expecting it to; I'm just remaining vigilant. :)

Hi

The Touch ID and Apple Watch settings do seem to be resolved. but I am still very occasionally seeing the 'Touch ID sensor is currently unavailable. You need to sign in using the account password.' message. Locking and unlocking my Mac with the Touch ID sensor seems to resolve the issue for 1Password.

It was suggested this was unrelated but for me both issues started at the same time, is this a big coincidence?

Anyone else still reporting the same Touch ID unavailable message?

Thank you for your help.

@iwaddo

I'd certainly keep talking with my colleagues from the technical team via email. You might be an edge case. Having them look at any reports would be the best path forward.
