Hello lucasan​! 👋
Thanks for reaching out! You can already unlock 1Password in the browser using your Windows Hello PIN:
You'll need to install the 1Password for Windows desktop app first since Windows Hello unlock is handled by the desktop app: Download 1PasswordYou mentioned that you haven't yet installed the desktop app, was there a specific reason why you haven't? Let me know if you ran into an issue that I can help with.

Hi Dave,
the reason is that I use it also in my company for few credentials and I don’t want to install desktop version. Thank for your answer but I already know your suggestion.

Thanks for the reply. Installing the desktop app is required in order to unlock 1Password in the browser using your device PIN since the browser extension doesn't have the ability to use Windows Hello by itself.
I'm not personally aware of any plans to bring other PIN unlock functionality to 1Password in the browser. That being said, while I can't make any promises, I've shared your request with the team internally.
