Hi @emack22, sorry to hear of these troubles. Could you tell me a little more about this? 👇

Same here, extremely frustrating regarding the work sometimes but not work most of the time with windows hello.

For example, are you not being prompted to unlock with Hello when you open 1Password? Any details you can share here could help us track down the specifics.

My desktop computer works every time, but logs in with PIN hence bypasses windows hello!

PIN is one method used by Windows Hello. Are you looking to log in with biometrics instead, for example?

Thanks - we're looking forward to learning what we might do better here. And we appreciate your engagement on this!
