Please allow PIN unlock in 1P8 Android

+1 for PIN unlock. I immediately installed 8 when it was available. I went right back to 7 the same day. Is there an update about when PIN unlock will/will not be set in version 8 ?

Hello @ABCNCRR, thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm sorry for the trouble this has caused.

I've added your +1 and shared your feedback with the teams working on accessibility improvements. If you'd like to share any other feedback or there's anything we can help just let me know!

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.

Hi @tabby93640, @SyrusSilverkin, @rmcf28 and @canbe. Thanks for continuing to share all this feedback! +1's have been added.

@plarguin, thanks for taking the time to expand your earlier point. I can understand your frustration and I'm sorry this has kept you from upgrading to the new app.

I don't use biometrics for anything.
I will probably go back to old version until this is put back...

+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 😄

+1 for PIN unlock. I don't use biometrics on any of my devices, and 1password 8 is intensely frustrating to use on my phone without the PIN option. I am reverting to the old app on my phone until this is fixed.

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 this. I use fingerprint unlock for my Samsung device but want/need a different unlock mechanism for my password universe...

If someone manages to unlock my phone while I'm unaware then they can get in to my passwords at the same time. Adding PIN unlock adds an additional/different layer of protection for 1password.
