I don't use biometrics and entering my password every time is frustrating. 1Password Version: 8.9.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Android 12 Browser:_ Not Provided Referrer: forum-search:https://1password.community/search?Search=Please%20allow%20PIN%20unlock%20in%201P8%20Android

I’ll have to second this suggestion. My phone does not have a fingerprint sensor, it does have face unlock but the camera is damaged. Without the PIN it is laborious to use 1Password, I’ve had to immediately go back to using 1Password 7.

+1 I don't use biometrics. Please bring PIN Code to 1Password 8 for Android

1P_Timothy, I think my previous post was pretty obvious why we need pin code back especially for devices not compatible with any other easy way to unlock 1Password 8. Entering a 30 characters + symbols with a virtual keyboard this is just pure torture. It can take me about 1 minutes to unlock 1Password because I must switch between letters, number, symbols which are not on the same layout of a virtual keyboard. In addition to that, I want 1Password to lock automatically like on my every other device. So, you guest It I have to waste so much time just to unlock 1Password with my Android device. That makes it not pleasant at all to use and not recommendable to my friends, I’m sorry. With my Windows PC, I can enter the same password in less than 5 seconds, but with my PC I do also have Windows hello and easy way to unlock 1Passoword with … wait for it “Yes a pin code”. I don’t understand why you remove it in the first place. It's not like you ever got it. It’s not a new feature we are asking back, it’s a mandatory feature to be able to use effectively your software. There are “Billions” of android devices out there for every budget target so there is plenty of devices without fingerprint nor face unlock and for that reason, I’m literally begging you to bring it back. Please!!! Thank you!

+1 for PIN unlock. Even for phones which do have biometrics, not everyone wants to use them for various reasons. A long safe password is painful to enter every time on a mobile, and had basically forced me back to 1password 7 until it gets added. Please add this in to 1password 8 😄

With the v8 update, the app is now broken for people like me with a physical disability. I can’t place a finger on a fingerprint scanner nor point my phone at my face, so biometric security is unusable. On top of that, entering the Master Password is something I can only do once in a while since typing by joystick is very labor intensive. Until 1P8 is made accessible, I’ll be sticking with 1P7 and my PIN unlock.

Please allow PIN unlock in 1P8 Android

I use a Samsung Galaxy S6-Lite, it does not have fingerprint reader and the face unlock is not compatible with 1Password 8 (according to their answer via email). In addiction the face unlock from Samsung is very buggy it's working like 1/10 so I disabled it. My main password is exceptionally long so having to enter it each time I need to use 1Password make it very unfriendly. I was able to download back 1Password 7 from Google play store and I start to use it again because 1Password 8 is just not recommendable for those kinds of devices right now. Please bring back the pin code for 1Password 8.

+1 to this. Also i've tried turning on fingerprint unlocking but it won't work, every time i turn it on the whole app shuts down (and then i have to re-enter my full long-ass master password...😤)
