Setting a different password for a phone?
I have a complex local password to unlock 1password on my Mac. I'd like to set a different password to unlock my vaults on my phone because the switch between upper/lower/symbols makes it a real pain...

ModeratorHello adam667! 👋
Thank you for reaching out. You can unlock 1Password on your iPhone more conveniently by using either Touch ID / Face ID or your device passcode to unlock the app. You can read more here:
- Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad
- Use Face ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad Pro
- Use your device passcode, PIN, or pattern to unlock 1Password
It's not possible to unlock 1Password using a different password on different devices since the password that you enter is your account password which decrypts your data. You only have one account password. If you don't wish to use biometrics or your account password to unlock the 1Password app then you can also change your account password to one that is easier to type in: How to choose a good 1Password account password
I hope that helps! 🙂
