Hello phlexx! 👋

Thank you for the question! You can use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your work Mac, you'll first need to turn on Touch ID for the Mac itself and install the desktop app:

  1. Install 1Password for Mac: Get the 1Password apps
  2. Make sure that Touch ID is turned on for the Mac itself: Use Touch ID on Mac – Apple Support (AU)
  3. Turn Touch ID on for 1Password: Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your Mac

Once you've completed these steps, you'll be able to unlock both the desktop app and the browser extension using Touch ID. Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂
