Community ManagerIntroducing a simpler, faster way to unlock 1Password
Hey 1Password Community! We’ve been working on a simpler faster way to unlock 1Password without compromising the security you trust.
Unlock with your device
With the new Unlock with Device settin...
Thanks everyone for jumping in here and sharing what you’re seeing!
If you’re already running the latest version of 1Password (currently 8.11.18) you’re on the right version for these new unlock presets. Nothing extra needs to be installed. This rollout is happening through a feature flag, which is why some people are seeing the new options immediately and others aren’t.
When the new unlock presets don’t show up right away, it’s usually one of two things. The app hasn’t picked up the feature flag has changed yet, or there’s a 1Password Business account added in the app alongside your personal account. Business accounts don’t support these new presets right now, so the app hides them when one is present.
Locking and unlocking 1Password will usually trigger the new unlock presets showing up for you. A quick quit and restart of the app can help too, and the new presets should appear in Settings > Security once everything updates.
If you’ve tried the steps above and the presets still aren’t appearing, or something just isn’t working the way it should, feel free to reach out to us at support@1password.com and we can take a closer look.

So will this feature be available in the future for all of us that are on a business plan?

Thanks for the question! The feature is now available for 1Password Business users, if you still don't see it then reach out to your admin so that they can check whether they've enabled the feature on their end: Enforce unlock and auto-lock settings in 1Password Business
Note: There's currently a bug preventing the new unlock experiencing from showing up for 1Password Teams users. Our development team is working on a fix.
