MFA with Yubikey for Desktop application

Is there an option to unlock 1password with Yubikey Bio for desktop app? Because it feels weird that I can use the security key for 1password website only, and I have to enter the password manually to use 1password desktop app.

1Password Version: 8.4.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10

    Hey @akukoba:

    The fingerprint scanning functionality in the Yubikey Bio is not exposed to the OS. Touching a registered fingerprint to the Yubikey simply unlocks the U2F action. If you'd like to use fingerprint unlock on Windows, using a Windows Hello-capable fingerprint reader would be your best bet: Use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password on your Windows PC
