1password Touch Id Mac

Posted on by



Before you can set up Touch ID in 1Password, you’ll need to set up Touch ID on your Mac. Then follow these steps: Open and unlock 1Password. Choose 1Password Preferences from the menu bar, and click Security. Apple hasn’t designed Touch ID or Auto Unlock as a replacement for the password you use to log in to your Mac. In the same way, using Touch ID or Apple Watch in 1Password doesn’t replace your Master Password or undermine the security of 1Password.

Everything you store in 1Password is protected by a Master Password that only you know. 1Password uses end-to-end encryption, so your data is only ever decrypted offline. The encryption keys never leave your device, and you are the only one who can see your passwords. Unlock the app quickly and securely with Face ID.

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

Set up Touch ID

Move your existing 1Password data to a 1Password account; Save and fill passwords in your browser; Sync your 1Password data; Upgrade to 1Password 7 for Android; Upgrade to 1Password 7 for Mac; Upgrade to 1Password 7 for Windows; Use Face ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad Pro; Use Touch ID to unlock 1Password on your iPhone or iPad. 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.

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.

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.

In some situations, you need to enter your password instead of using Touch ID:

  • If you've just restarted your Mac
  • If you've logged out of your user account
  • If your fingerprint isn't recognized five times in a row
  • If you haven't unlocked your Mac in more than 48 hours
  • If you've just enrolled or deleted fingerprints

If you still need help unlocking your Mac with Touch ID, follow these tips. Try again after each one:

  • Make sure that your fingers are clean and dry.
    Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, or cooking.
  • Your finger should cover Touch ID completely. While Touch ID is scanning, don't press down or move your finger.
  • Try setting up a different fingerprint.
