Fingerprint scanner broken; Alternative forms of unlock?

Hi aelius,

While it isn't possible to set a PIN code to unlock the 1Password 8 for Android app, it is possible to change the auto lock on option to 8 hours, which should lead to the 1Password 8 for Android app only asking for your account password every 8 hours.

1Password 7 for Android did have a PIN code unlock option available but since most mobile devices now include fingerprint scanners or face-unlock options, we've revamped our security settings to enable you to unlock 1Password with your account password or biometrics. 1Password 8 showcases a modern, beautiful UI and we wanted our unlock options to follow this trend and provide the most up-to-date unlock options.

With that being said, we have a currently open feature request for PIN unlock to be added as an option to the 1Password 8 for Android app. I will go ahead and add your comment to highlight further interest. It is something our developers are looking into, although I can't make any promises as to if or when this option will be added to future versions of 1Password.

I hope this helps.
