Want to rely on Hello, avoid master password entry after reboot

ModeratorHello StableInfusion​! 👋
Welcome to the community! As you mentioned, if you enable the TPM for 1Password then you'll no longer need to enter your account password after you restart your device: Manage your settings
What I meant is using Hello to sign in to Windows the first time. In other words, the experience I really want is that if I have signed in to Windows (especially using strong auth like properly set up Hello), my 1Password app and extensions are automatically unlocked.
We've recently introduced a new feature in the beta version of 1Password that I think will fit your needs: Unlock 1Password when you unlock your device (beta)
Let us know what you think if you do try the beta. Once testing is complete, we hope to release unlock with device to the production version of 1Password as well.

Thanks Dave. Thanks to your post, I have been trying the Beta versions with the new "Unlock with Device" option selected. In my experience this only works the way I would expect about 20% of the time. The other 80% of the time I am still prompted for my master password in the app, after Windows logon. For reference, here are my current settings on one of the machines:

Thank you for the reply. The next time that the 1Password desktop app prompts you for your password, and it hasn't been 14 days since the last time that you provided your password, I'd like to ask you to create and share a 1Password diagnostics report from your Windows PC:
Send a diagnostics report (Windows)
Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support@1password.com
With your email please include:- A link to this thread: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/want-to-rely-on-hello-avoid-master-password-entry-after-reboot/161003

You should receive an automated reply from our BitBot assistant with a Support ID number. Please post that number here. Thanks very much!-Dave
Thanks Dave. In the meantime, I somehow have been transitioned back to production channel and can't get back to beta (tried uninstall -> install beta, tried Settings > Advanced > Release channel). Will wrestle with that first and get back with beta diagnostics when I can.

Thank for the reply. We've just released a new beta update for 1Password for Windows (8.11.14-19). After the update you should be back on the beta channel. Let me know if that doesn't work.
