3 years agoHi,
I've been reading several of these threads about security using Windows Hello (both with and without Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 enabled. I hate to be doing this but since I felt compromised by LastPass and it's failure to increase the automatically increasing the iterations used for blending/hashing my Master Password, I am a lot more cautious as I migrate to 1Password.
To point, I've been curious about the warning/reluctance by the 1Password Team to enable/use TPM 2.0. So I've read to try to better understand the issue. In reading I came across the article linked below which seems to say that Window Hello (with or without TPM enabled) can be bypassed in a number ways. The article outlines the scenario.
I mention this for guidance. I hope to get more clarification from the 1Password Technical Support Team. Please keep in mind that I am not a very technical person and only venturing into the deep end of the pool to protect myself and my account as I start using 1Password. I hope you can, in layman's terms, provide a thorough explanation regarding the issue in the article. Thank you.

P.S. I found it helpful to download a pdf of the article. Thanks again.
