Thanks for reaching out! 1Password on the Mac supports a few different unlock methods:
- Using your account password.

If you don't have Touch ID or Apple Watch then I recommend changing your account password to something that is easier to type in while still being secure: How to choose a good 1Password account password

This isn't an option for macOS at the moment. While I can't make any promises, I've filed a feature request on your behalf to have our team look into adding such an option. Thanks for the feedback!
