Login to Browser with Authenticator Only

Hello. I use my personal 1Password account to store my personal information as well as logins on my workplace computer. I have 2-factor authentication enabled using the Authy Android app. Is it possible to login to the browser extension using the authentication codes generated by Authy alone? I'd like to avoid typing my master password on my workplace computer if possible. It's an older PC without biometric (fingerprint) or face recognition.

(Firefox 108.0.2, Windows 8.1, extension version 2.5.1)

1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: 2.5.1
OS Version: Windows 8.1
Browser:_ Firefox 108.0.2

    Hi, @Joy_1P,

    Thank you for your response. Like others who have switched from LastPass, I appreciated the ability to have the LastPass app on my trusted device authenticate my browser extension. As 1Password moves toward "passwordless" logins, is there any consideration of adding a similar feature in the future?

    Hey Scott808, you can set up 2FA for your 1Password account, but your Account Password is still necessary in order to sign in. If you feel that your work device isn't safe or secure, even though your data would be encrypted via your Account Password, then I would not recommend using 1Password.
