Windows Hello not showing up in 1Password for Windows 8.10.0 (81000030)

Already deactivated the three Hello Checkmarks in Security, ended and started 1P, activated the three checkmarks again (no Hello prompt as before here), ended and restarted 1P. Still no Hello. Deja...

1Password will only "change lanes" from one release channel to another when a new version appears in that new channel. Since betas are released much less frequently than nightlies, you might well still get some nightly builds until a new beta is available, at which point 1Password will jump to that instead.

This isn't so obvious if you switch from Beta to Production, since they're both similarly infrequent (compared to Nightly).

If you'd like to switch to the beta straightaway, here's what to do:

  1. Change release channel to Production.
  2. Completely quit 1Password by right-clicking it in the notification area > Quit.
  3. Uninstall 1Password. (note: your data won't be deleted in this step)
  4. Reinstall the Production version of 1Password.
  5. Change release channel to Beta.
  6. Accept the update and restart 1Password.

Try that if you need to change channels right now and let me know how it goes for you. :)
