Not sure if this is the right place to discuss (vs. starting a new thread,) but since I saw YubiKeys mentioned I'll give it a go.
I would like the ability to associate any number of YubiKeys (or their equivalent hardware-based FIDO / webauthn equivalents) directly in the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
I.e. for unlocking the local 1Password vault / app itself.
When implemented with an additional 4-digit PIN code (in 1Password natively, not within the hardware-key prompt), this could improve overall 1Password security and convenience by allowing a very secure main 1Password unlock password, while making it quick and easy for the user to unlock 1password just by tapping their YubiKey device and entering a quick 4-digit PIN code.
Only 3 tries allowed for said PIN code, after which 1Password would fall back to requiring the full-length main 1Password-unlock password.
