PLEASE ADVISE. 🔎

Thanks Timothy.

Yes, it appears 'face unlock' doesn't function on the current Samsung tablets, including my A8. My 'settings/security' page allows me to toggle the 'face unlock'. It's not grayed-out. Unfortunately, my A8 only supports 'face unlock' (i.e. no fingerprint reader).

When the new version of 1password dropped 'unlocking' via 'pin', it introduced a real inconvenience, requiring me to enter my 'strong' password every time. My workaround has been to set my auto-lock to 8-hours, and/or to save a clipboard-copy of my password in Microsoft SwiftKey for easy retrieval. Great solutions, eh? Suggestions?

I will be glad to try the 1password beta IF you have any confidence it addresses the 'face unlock' issue.

Thanks in advance for you assistance.
