Suggestion: make it easier to require a password instead of touch ID after a restart

rowen

The new feature of permitting touch ID after a restart is nifty for those who trust it. I don't and was dismayed at how hard it was to find the preference to disable it. Please put the preference under Security, where folks would thing to look for it. Even if you want advanced security settings they would be easier to find under Security>Advanced then where they are now.

Thanks for the feedback, @rowen! We did put the location of the preference in the release notes. But we'll certainly take that into consideration if enough folks want to change it and have difficulty finding it.

Note that few users will see the release notes (only those upgrading, not new users, and upgraders may miss them). If I had not seen the note I might not ever have found the setting! It's seriously buried.

Ben

Thanks, @rowen. :) The release notes are actually shown to new users as well, but your point is well taken.

Where is the setting to disable Touch ID authentication only after a restart?

Ben

Hi @twilsonco,

It can be found under 1Password > Settings > Advanced > Security.

Thanks!

Thanks Ben! Now that I know where it is, it seems funny to have Settings > Security AND Settings > Advanced > Security right? At least this particular feature would be better placed directly under the toggle for enabling Touch ID in Settings > Security.

I agree with twilsonco that the setting would be easier to find under Settings > Security

Ben

Right. And that is exactly why we have it in the advanced section. ;) The default is best for most folks, and changing the setting can have some unintended consequences for folks who don't understand what it does.

That said, we certainly appreciate the feedback. :)
