I prefer to use the keyboard with minimal use of the mouse.
Efter having entered the master password I would like to be able to confirm with a keystroke instead of using the mouse to click on the unlock icon.
Is there a way för this?

    Hi @matas1, and welcome to the forum!

    Try pressing the return (or enter) key after entering your Master Password and 1Password should unlock without having to click the unlock icon. Let us know if you have any trouble getting that to work. Cheers. :)

    Sorry,

    Pressing "return" or "enter" does not work. Neither with external keyboard or with keyboard of MacBook Pro (mid 2010).

    That is really quite strange, @matas1. Do you have any programs installed that modify keyboard functions, like Karabiner installed? Also it may help to better understand the history behind this issue... when did it begin? Has this ever worked for you?

    Thanks.

    Dear Ben,

    I made another try and found out that my mistake was pressing "tab" after entering password. This maneuver highlights the lock symbol. This is the way I work when I start the Mac and enter system password. Pressing "enter" in this situation opens my Mac. It does not open 1password.
    However, pressing "enter" directly after having entered password works with the 1password.
    So, the ground rule works; do not overdo!
