1password Macbook Touch Id



Learn how to set up and use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your iOS device with your fingerprint.

Set up Touch ID

Before you can set up Touch ID in 1Password, you’ll need to set up Touch ID for your device. Then follow these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password.
  2. Tap Settings > Security.
  3. Turn on Touch ID.

The new iMac also includes a 1080p FaceTime® HD camera, studio-quality mics, and a six-speaker sound system — the best camera and audio ever in a Mac®. Also, Touch ID® comes to iMac for the first time, making it easier than ever to securely log in, make purchases with Apple Pay®, or switch user profiles with the touch of a finger. When you use Apple Watch or Touch ID to unlock 1Password, it’s easier to use a longer and more secure Master Password than you might otherwise have chosen. Your fingerprint is not stored in 1Password. 1Password never scans or stores your fingerprint. Touch ID is provided by macOS, which only tells 1Password if your fingerprint was recognized or not.

Now you can use your fingerprint to unlock 1Password. But don’t forget your Master Password. Sometimes you’ll need to enter it instead of using Touch ID.

Use Touch ID

After setting up Touch ID, open 1Password. If 1Password is locked, you can use Touch ID instead of your Master Password. To unlock 1Password, place your finger on the Touch ID sensor.

Sometimes you won’t see the prompt:

  • If you’ve canceled the Touch ID prompt
  • If you’ve restarted your device

Depending on your settings, you might see the Touch ID button below the Master Password field. Tap it and the prompt will appear.

Manage your settings

To change how often your Master Password is required instead of your fingerprint, go to Settings > Advanced > Security.

  • Require Master Password: If you want 1Password to require your Master Password instead of Touch ID after restarting your device or after a specific amount of time, change this setting. By default, 1Password will not ask for your Master Password in those cases.
