Is it currently possible to implement this support for storing 1password credentials within the TPM? I am currently using the TPM to store my disk encryption keys.

Hey @Lyndeno, thanks for reaching out and I apologize for our delayed response.

While 1Password for Linux supports using system authentication to unlock, these credentials are not stored within the TPM. Instead, system authentication utilizes two Linux standards: polkit and PAM.

This means that you'll still need to enter your 1Password account passwords sometimes such as when restarting 1Password or your device.

Let me know if you have any further questions!

I understand the PAM integration. That is how it is currently setup. I am just wondering if 1password will in the future, support the TPM in linux as it does on Windows
