4 years agoFace ID Not Working [Fixed. Please see the approved answer for details.]

I have upgraded to 1Password 8 for Mac. Yesterday I had to re-set my iPhone settings and since then I cannot use Face ID to open 1Password. I have re-installed the 1Password app, checked to make sure 1Password is approved for using Face ID on my phone. Can you advise?
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.8.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 15.6
Browser:_ Safari

Because of all this hoopla I decided to install 1PW8 on my phone this morning. I’ve been using 7 on both my phone and iPad with no issues. I’m leaving 7 on my iPad to be able to compare the two. 8 has no Face ID issue either in the main app or the Safari extension. Face ID unlocks both properly. Of course I’ve never and most likely would never do a reset all settings so I don’t expect to run into this issue.
My initial reaction is that I think I prefer the look of 7 but I’ll take some time to decide. In the meantime 7 will remain on my iPad. And other than the emails coming in about new log ins, which are quite annoying, there haven’t been any issues so far. I do hope those stop eventually.

As I read the update I thought 'finally! Better late than never! "then the bitter disappointment 😬everything as before Face ID does not unlock the app. Nothing, maybe a fix in the autofill but I didn't have time to check better, so for now 1 - I don't know what they fixed as stated in the App Store page of 1password8 by c b the developers (maybe the problem is only mine) 2 - I continue with L using version 7 which differs little ....un dear greetings to all

Could you at least provide an in-app button to clear the 1Password data from the Secure Enclave so that the Face ID setup can start over cleanly? There's a specific API to delete items from the Secure Enclave.

Is this issue ever going to be fixed? Seems like it should be a VERY HIGH PRIORITY. It has been going on for 3 months now.

Hi after a problem with my iPhone led me to have to reset both my iPhone 11 and my iPad 9 gen, both were updated to newest iOS after reset. Then biometrics reset. Neither of them are recognizing the biometrics. I’ve since uninstalled the app, reset both devices again, and reinstalled app both are running v 8 of 1Password. And tried again. I’ve checked all the settings on both devices and biometrics are turned on and set up in every place I know about. I’ve tried glasses on/off on the phone with Face ID, and different fingers on the iPad. I’ve cleaned them, tried different lighting. I’ve no clue what went wrong. Please help? TIA

The latest update from 1Password did not fix my issue with accessing using facial recognition. It continues to ask me to input my password even though it appears my face was recognised correctly. Very frustrating issue!!!

Likewise. This problem is causing me to lose confidence in 1Password.

I have same issue. Updating to 1P 8.9.7 did not correct my face ID issue

Todays update, 8.9.7, did not resolve this issue.
