Thanks for reaching out. There are a few different ways to unlock 1Password on your Android device:
- Your account password.
- Biometrics (such as your face or fingerprint): Use your fingerprint, face, or iris to unlock 1Password on your Android device
- Your device passcode: Use your device passcode, PIN, or pattern to unlock 1Password

I hope that helps. π
