Unlock with Apple Watch double tap

Hi, it would be great to be able to unlock 1Password on the Mac with the double tap functionality of the watch, instead of pressing the button twice. I know it is a small thing, but would add convenience as you only need one hand: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/10/apple-watch-double-tap-gesture-now-available-with-watchos-10-1/

Thanks for considering

    Thanks 1P_Dave - I have not seen it on another app, but I also never had the use case for it so far. Thanks for looking into this.

    Hello thimplicity! 👋

    Thank you for the request! I've let the team know that you'd like to be able to unlock 1Password on your Mac using the double tap gesture on your Apple Watch.

    That being said, I'm not sure if Apple has made this gesture available to third-party apps. Do you have any other third-party apps that make use of the "double tap" gesture?

      Hi 1P_Dave​ I use double tap for lots of third-party apps such as Okta and would love to be able to use double tap for 1Password. I think you just need to change the prompt to a simple push notification rather than click the side button twice
