Default to fingerprint unlock on 1Password 8?

I confirm that restarting my MacBook has fixed the issue for me as well: Touch ID appears to be the default now.

I came here for the same reason. Upgraded from 7 to 8 EA.
The ENTER workaround is reasonable, not too bad though the automatic prompting is preferable to me as it's my primary way of using 1pw (unlock via touch or watch).

I then however rebooted my Mac, and suddenly 1pw appears to be auto prompting again...
Well - problem solved then, I suppose :) (you may want to solve the issue though that it only did this after reboot)

Hi @andiAG and @ag_Jonathan,

I noticed that when 1Password 8 is open to the unlock screen (photo attached) in the background, if I use the keyboard shortcut (Command Shift Backslash) from Safari, it just brings the 1Password window to the top of the window hierarchy, not prompting for fingerprint. If I git enter (the workaround you suggested), then it will prompt me. Similarly, if I use the shortcut once more, it will close the 1Password window, and using the shortcut again will open the window with a prompt for Touch ID.

Hope this help!

And as a workaround for now, if you hit enter on an empty lock screen, then the TouchID prompt will come up for you.

Thanks for letting me know. Let me try that.

I haven't restarted my MacBook in a while. So, every time I bring the 1Password app into view, the app prompts me for a master password instead of the TouchID. I am able to click on that fingerprint icon to submit my fingerprint, but would prefer that to be the default choice.

Hi @alpha and @mshamash, thanks so much for checking out the early access and providing feedback :) 1Password should be automatically prompting for your fingerprint when you come back to it.

Would you be able to provide any steps to reproduce what you're seeing? There are a couple of cases that we're already tracking, but it would be helpful to know if there are others that we haven't seen yet.

And as a workaround for now, if you hit enter on an empty lock screen, then the TouchID prompt will come up for you.

The app should be prompting you for Touch ID automatically if you have it set up (which it sounds like you do), so this could be a bug on our end. Could you give some more details on how you are using the app when you see this happen? I worked on this feature and I want to make sure it's working properly for you!

What @mshamash mentioned. I see another report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rjonesy/status/1425537017409064972/

I think what @alpha is referring to is automatic prompting to scan your fingerprint, like was the case in 1Password 7.x. Instead here I need to click the Touch ID icon and then it'll prompt me to scan my finger.

@alpha

If Touch ID is available. it should offer you that option. Do you have both 7 and 8 installed?
