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

@pete16 and mjudman

Thank you for the feedback. Our Product team recently considered all of the requests and suggestions that we received from folks (here on the forums, over email, and in other places such as user studies) regarding PIN unlock and added device passcode (PIN) unlock as a result of that feedback: Use your device passcode to unlock 1Password for iOS

I'm not personally aware of plans to introduce a custom PIN at this time however I've filed feature requests on behalf of everyone in this thread for future consideration. We appreciate that you took the time to voice why such as a feature would be useful to you.

I've got a nice long password, which, of course, is a pain to enter on my iPhone. I know about using FaceID but feel uncomfortable about the fact that someone in possession of both my phone and me, could unlock 1Password very easily. Of course, using the iPhone's passcode alone is not too secure.

Just in case you didn't see my post above: You can make the iPhone's passcode longer and more secure by using this guide from Apple: Set a passcode on iPhone - Apple Support (CA)

Alternatively, since your 1Password account is protected by both your account password and the 32-character Secret Key, you can change your account password to be easier to type in while still being secure.

I know that these are not the options that you're looking for but I'm mentioning them in case they help. 🙂
