TPM For Windows Hello After Restart
With Windows 11 there will be even more Windows machines with TPM on by default. Thanks to the TPM other password managers allow you to use Windows Hello even after restarting the app or the machine itself. Would this be possible for 1Password as well? It would be very similar to how the mobile apps work, there I also don't need my masterpassword after a restart and can use Face ID right away. Thanks to the TPM it should be as safe as with the mobile platforms where you allow this feature.

OS Version: Windows 10

Quitting and restarting 1Password doesn't change the behavior. Still it first asks for pwd, then Hello prompt. CPU is "11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz". I do have a video here of the behavior, but can't add it here unfortunately.

Hi all,
Just testing this feature out - I have TPM enabled via the Intel software solution in my motherboard (i forget the name...PTT?) and confirm that after restarting the machine the Windows Hello prompt does appear, but it is quite slow - it also doesn't start/become focused unless you manually click on the window / icon in the taskbar. I recall the Windows Hello prompt not being focused on was a bug/issue in earlier builds of 1P8.
What information do you need from me to help troubleshoot this? Or are you already aware/on top of it?

Hi Former Member, thanks for the details. I see that Mike replied to you in a separate thread, so we'll continue the conversation over there to keep things tidy. 👍

It isn't possible to activate TPM support for me. It's on a Intel i7-6700K. TPM is activated in bios and the TPM actually shows up as "Trusted Platform Module 2.0" in Windows device manager.
Windows Hello with pin is active and is working fine. - MikeT

Let us know how it goes.
Also, can you let us know what CPU you're using?

Hi jpalo,
Thanks for writing in. If you quit 1Password now and restart, does it now show the Windows Hello prompt or for your account password?
After enabling the TPM support, it does require to lock 1Password and then unlock with the account password first, so we can initialize it with the TPM. It should then work with Windows Hello only from there on, at least until the next Windows update or hardware updates.

Not working. First it asks for password, after successful pwd, it shows the Windows Hello prompt.

Hi MikeT ,
many thanks for your detailed answer. I figured there were some issues still with fTPM (and probably especially in combination with Windows 11). Already thinking about adding a dedicated TPM.
But I´m glad that you´re adding the feature at all and i understand that it´s Beta atm and it still needs some more clarification and probably development.
