Yes, but there are still times that you might have to enter your account password, such as:

  • if the amount of time in Settings > Security > “Require password” has elapsed (but you can set this to Never – just make sure to remember your account password!)
  • if Touch ID isn’t available, like when the built-in display is closed on your Mac
  • if you add or delete a fingerprint from your device

Otherwise, you'll be able to unlock 1Password using Touch ID. :)
