How to increase biometric auth attempts in the app?
Hi everyone, Ive been having a recurring issue with biometric authentication (fingerprint) in the 1Password app. Sometimes my finger is slightly wet, or I don't place it correctly on the first try, and the app immediately locks me out and asks for the master password From a usability standpoint, this feels a bit counterproductive. The whole point of enabling biometrics is to make authentication faster and more convenient, but having only one attempt before being forced to type the full password can be frustrating. Is there any way to increase the number of allowed biometric attempts (for example, 3–5 tries) before the app falls back to requiring the master password? Or is this behavior fixed for security reasons? Id love to know if there's a setting I'm missing, or if this could be considered as a feature request Thanks!
Feature thanks
Hello, It's with gratefulness that I pass along thanks to the 1Password developers and staff for creating a feature that allows the password to be enlarged. This feature is valuable for those of us with a need to see larger print and is especially helpful when complex passwords include spaces between the characters. The feature has number for each character, making it very easy to see blank spaces. Thank you so much!RBM: Cybersecurity Hot Takes 2025

When clicking the bell icon (🔔) with or without the blue dot (🔵), the Notifications page will often open to show "No Notifications" where there are Notifications. Reloading the page, or opening it in a new tab or window, will usually show the Notifications. Sometimes reloading the page showing Notifications will show the "No Notifications" page.
Is there a 1Password Referral Program?
I'm aware of the formal Affiliate Program on CJ Affiliate, however CJ is a high threshold affiliate program with a tax ID, etc. I'm wondering if 1 Password has a simple referral code I can send to people to sign up. I sign up clients, friends, and followers weekly. 1Password is easy for tech people but the majority of non-tech people can't be bothered by this stuff and the conversion of direct personal referrals is higher than posting on social media via an official program like CJ. I use CJ for my formal social media partnerships and it's not a great match for 1Password. It would be appreciated to get some kind of credit for it, since none of them would sign up without my help. Almost every other platform has something like this.
