1Password TeamHi LionelBDyck! I understand that you used to be able to unlock 1Password with your Windows password after the initial unlock, but now you're having to enter your 1Password account password every time.
Unlocking 1Password using your Windows PIN requires Unlock using Windows Hello to be enabled in the1Password desktop app under Settings > Security, as the Windows PIN itself is a Windows Hello sign in option.
It sounds as if you may have previously had this option enabled and something may have changed a few weeks ago that caused it to stop working. If you check your settings in 1Password, is the Windows Hello option enabled or disabled at the moment? If it's disabled, does enabling it restore the behaviour you were used to?
I look forward to hearing from you!
