Hello GregSWpg​! 👋

Thanks for the question! Biometric and PIN unlock is handled by Windows Hello on Windows devices and I don't believe that apps get to choose which method is presented as the default by Windows: Use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password on your Windows PC

I believe that Windows Hello will set the default to be the first method that you've added to your system. Try removing both your fingerprint and PIN unlock as methods for Windows Hello and then add PIN unlock back first and then subsequently add the fingerprint option, do you now see PIN unlock being offered first? You can read more about setting Windows Hello options here: Configure Windows Hello

If that doesn't work then do you have any other apps on your Windows PC where the PIN option is offered as the default?
