4 years agoPlease allow PIN unlock in 1P8 Android
I don't use biometrics and entering my password every time is frustrating.

4 years agoYou are very welcome @FireDragonDoL! Using some of the in-built unlock options such as PIN and pattern is a great idea and, to my knowledge, it's something we've looked into in the past as well.
@arbitraryreadwrite thanks for the additional input here. From the conversations I've had there are a lot of unique use cases and I imagine it will be challenging to get it exactly right for everyone. If we implement PIN unlock, we will certainly be striving for a balance between convenience and security while taking in some of the points you raised here. Perhaps an option to select either would be beneficial?
To clarify robert1p, 1Password 7 for Android could continue using PIN unlock as long as the app stayed open in the background. If it was closed completely by force stopping, removing from Recents or through other methods, the account password would be required to unlock.
There are currently no specifics to provide regarding if PIN unlock will be added to 1Password 8 or how exactly it would work. I really appreciate your input however and have shared it with the team.
Thanks again everyone!
