Dear Dave_1P,
Thank you sincerely for your prompt response.
At present, 1Password 8 offers three locking options:
Master Password: The purpose of a password manager is to relieve the burden of remembering multiple passwords, requiring only the recall of a single master password. My master password is both complex and lengthy, rendering it inconvenient to input each time 1Password is used.
Face ID: In certain situations and specific workplaces, the use of Face ID may be prohibited, necessitating the use of a passcode as an alternative. Personally, I harbor concerns about the security of relying solely on Face ID for 1Password. Notably, many applications, such as Dropbox, provide the capability to set a pin code.
Pin Code: Password managers bear significant importance for numerous individuals as they store valuable account credentials, bank details (including credit/debit card information), and secure notes. To enhance security and foster peace of mind, it is advisable to assign a distinct pin code to each specific application. The probability of someone inadvertently discovering your device's passcode outweighs the likelihood of them gaining access to the app's passcode.
I appreciate your attention to this matter.
