1Password TeamHi @steven1 / AMonitorDarkly / @asking_questions / @agheaG8a:
Thanks for bringing this up. Face ID can tell the difference between a "bad read", "no face found", and "definitely the wrong face", and we differentiate between them now in 1Password 8, which we didn't do in 1Password 7. If Face ID is getting "bad read" or "no face found", Face ID allows more attempts. This would explain why closing your eyes or pointing your phone at the ceiling allows multiple attempts. If a face is seen by Face ID that it's confident isn't the registered face, at that point you'll be limited to a handful of attempts to use Face ID before your account password is required.
As for controlling when you need to enter your account password, or manually locking 1Password and having that require your account password, not just Face ID or Touch ID, we're continuing to discuss that internally, but I don't have anything to share just yet.
