Feature Request: Unlock 1Password for iOS using a custom PIN and not the device passcode

@pete16

I'm not on the product team myself but I believe that one of the major motivators was that, in the old days of 1Password 7, we saw a lot of folks permanently lock themselves out of their 1Password accounts or vaults because they believed that the "custom PIN" that they had set for 1Password was actually their account password. Then, when they needed to setup 1Password on a new device, they no longer remembered their actual account password and were locked out.

At the moment you can unlock 1Password for iOS using three different options:

1. Your account password, which can be made easier to type in while still being secure: How to choose a good 1Password account password
2. Face ID or Touch ID.
3. Your device PIN which can be made longer and more complex than just the default 4-6 digits: Set a passcode on iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

Can you tell me a little more about why none of these options would work for your use case? What specific threat are you trying to protect against where none of these options would be an acceptable path forward? I would be happy to pass along your reply to the product team. 🙂
