For face or iris unlock, 1Password for Android requires devices to use Google's native Biometric framework as well as use strong encryption. To clarify, many devices have some sort of face or iris unlock option, but they don't support Google's native Biometric framework. Even if they do, they may not support strong encryption or include hardware such as a depth sensing IR camera or similar. To my knowledge, this support is limited to the Pixel 4, Pixel 4XL and a few other devices.
Assuming the S22 Ultra does not support all the requirements, you will not be able to use face unlock with 1Password even if it is available to unlock your device or other apps. If face unlock is available on your device, the wording in 1Password will default to face unlock (instead of biometric or finger print unlock) even if face unlock is not available with 1Password. If that's the case, tapping face unlock in Settings > Security will allow you to set up fingerprint unlock with 1Password. We're looking in to solutions to help make this more clear for 1Password users. Thanks again!
