4 years agoPIN Lock Option Removed in V8
I do not use FaceID to unlock my vault. I prefer to use a PIN to prevent anyone from just putting it in my face to unlock it. Please bring back the option of using a PIN or FaceID. Thanks.

I've resorted to leaving a "1-Star" review in the App Store out of frustration over this not being addressed. Its a basic iOS function and shouldn't have been removed. Its not that hard. Its about 2 months now I think (maybe more).
As a comparison I use Proton Mail as one of my mail apps/accounts - I asked them to increase the PIN option from 4 digits to 6 when I first signed up and got the app (sometime ago) and they had changed it not just to 6, but to variable 4-8 to match iOS system, AND within less than 3 days!
Its a bit like a previous request I made (some while ago) asking for PINs to be lengthened so you could have 4-8 digits as per the standard iOS Security and that seemed to just go into the all too hard basket or was against the current development mantra (so the app up to version 7 being limited to only 4-digit PINs).
At this stage I'm starting to plan to ditch 1Password in a couple of months and look for an alternative solution as this and the date format issue (both 5-minute fixes I expect) look like they won't be addressed in immediate future - extremely frustrating. Pity as I liked 1Password and thought some of the other aspects of v8 update looked quite good.
