Does 1Password support U2F+PIN for system authentication?
Using 8.10.16 on Arch linux, I have PAM system-auth set up to use a U2F security key + PIN. This works anywhere else system-auth is used. However, when I try to use it in 1Password, the app has no ...
OK, so thank you to 1Password support, who helped me solve the issue. I use i3wm, which isn't a full desktop environment. I hadn't configured a policykit agent in my i3wm config file, so there was nothing for 1Password to interact with from a polkit standpoint.
Once I installed lxpolkit and added:
'exec --no-startup-id /usr/bin/lxpolkit &'
to my i3 config file, now 1Password properly unlocks via system auth.
Note there are many different polkit agents - lxpolkit is merely one of them. Gnome has one, MATE has another, etc. So if you end up in a similar situation, pick whatever one aligns best with your own environment.
