Hello!

I recently installed Windows 11 by using a method to bypass requirements for a supported CPU and a TPM module.

After installing 1Password on the new installation, I discovered that using Windows Hello PIN would be a really convenient method to unlock 1Password.

However, I have concerns about the security of this, since my computer doesn't have a TPM module at all (not even v1).

Am I still safe to use Windows Hello with 1Password? How is the security ensured in this case?

Thanks, I love 1Password very much.
