Activate the PIN code
Hello everyone!
I use 1Password with a subscription on an iPhone 6 with iOS 11 and I read it was possible to use a pin code to unlock the app.
I went in setttings->security and I’ve enclosed ona screenshot of the different options that were proposed to me.
There was everything but no Pin.
Would you know how I could fix that?
Thanks!

Hi there @Kanye :)
As far as I'm aware, the option to use a PIN code to unlock the app was an old option used back on earlier versions of 1Password before things like Touch ID were available to make it easier for people who did not want to have to type out their long, complex master passwords on a mobile keyboard. Nowadays, with Touch ID able solve that particular issue much more securely, the PIN option is no longer available.0 -
Thank you very much for your answer Corey!
I am very surprised because I heard about the pin code on Iphones with the Touch ID.
Maybe someone of the 1Password team will solve this mystery(?)0 -
Sure!
It was on the phone of a friend using the app on an IPhone 6S(included Touch ID) so maybe it has been changed since by an update of the app(?)0 -
@Kanye: Ah, maybe your friend broke Touch ID? A PIN code option is only available when Touch ID is not. So, while it isn't something we'd recommend (PIN codes are much easier to circumvent), I guess you could disable Touch ID on your device and you'll have that option.
