4 years agoFingerprint / Face Unlock in 1Password 8 for Android
I was excited to see a popup in 1paassword 7 for Android that v8 was out so I installed it and logged in. Second page of the 3 page 'get started' it says "Fingerprint Unlock" and then has an option to turn on or off FACE unlock. A bit disappointed, I left this disabled, and continued with 'get started'. Once in app, I went to settings / security, and in there it also only has FACE unlock.
I decided to enable this option anyway. I closed 1Password and opened it again and it asked for password. I closed and opened again and it asked for password. I closed and opened it again and I said 'Face Unlock' and then under that 'Unlock with fingerprint', and i was able to unlock with fingerprint.
So, for those that are as confused as I first was, where it says FACE unlock, it means BIOMETRIC unlock, and choosing this option will allow you to use whatever biometric unlock option you have configured on your phone.
Quality control - please update the wording as this is confusing and I've seen a few other posts on other sites asking where fingerprint unlock is on 1password 8 for android

Same here. Face unlock does not work and no option to use fingerprint anymore 😐 This is a major fuckup!

Samsung s20, android 12, one ui 4.1. For me the same thing, but even having "face unlock" on, none biometrics work. (Face recognition is turned off in my phone settings, I use only fingerprints).
