Hi @wobblestheduck, thanks for your question. Face unlock is considered a "weak" biometric factor with most Android devices. 1Password for Android requires device's Face unlock to be considered "strong" for it to be used to unlock the app. To my knowledge, there isn't a Samsung tablet that supports Face unlock with 1Password even if it can be used to unlock the device or other apps.

That being said, the Face unlock setting should be greyed out or removed in 1Password if it does not meet requirements. Do you also use fingerprint unlock with your device? I'd also like to ask you to update to the beta then check if the same issue occurs in that version. You can find how to update to the beta in this guide:
* Use 1Password beta releases

Thanks again!
