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.


1Password Version: 8.10.36 (81036006)

@manxman

Your situation is likely due to the transfer in my experience. I'd recommend emailing the team a diagnostic report to help determine that and rule in or out other causes.

Please email us usingsupport+forum@1password.com. Be sure to use the email address tied to the account in question.

Include the following:

Your user name here in the forum. manxman
A link to this topic. https://1password.community/discussion/comment/714360/#Comment_714360

This will help us connect the dots as they say.

@manxman Is the Touch ID working to lock and unlock your MAC?

If you lock and unlock your Mac with the Touch ID does 1Password suddenly work again?

If so this is what I see. Not often but it happens.
