Thanks for the reply. Even if someone was able to steal your iPhone and unlock the iPhone itself they would then need to find the 1Password app and unlock it separately. You can have 1Password lock more quickly to help protect against this threat: How to set 1Password to lock automatically

Once someone is willing to use force to get you to unlock your iPhone or 1Password there isn't much that 1Password can do to protect you. If someone is willing to use force to get you to unlock your iPhone or 1Password using Face ID then they'll likely be willing to use the same force to get you to give them your PIN.

That being said, I can see how requiring a PIN in addition to biometrics could give some folks more peace of mind. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request on your behalf with our product team.
