Thank you for the suggestion. Can you tell me a little more about the use case here? Why would you like to unlock 1Password for Mac using a YubiKey + PIN rather than using one of the following options:
- Your account password
- Your fingerprint (Touch ID)
- Your Apple Watch
I did want to mention that we're currently testing passkey unlock in a public beta which allows you to unlock 1Password using a passkey rather than an account password. Passkeys are usually saved in a platform manager like iCloud Keychain but they can also be saved to a YubiKey. You can read more here:
The passkey unlock beta requires that you create a special new account, passkeys can't be added to existing accounts yet. Once you've created a passkey unlock account and saved your initial passkey in a passkey manager, you can add your YubiKey.
Please be aware that passkey unlock is still in beta so you may run into more issues than usual. If you're hesitant about using a beta then I would stick with a regular account for now.
