Hi
Since long time, USB fingerprint reader devices haven’t been available for macs
Since 1P is managing my security anyway, why don’t you add the possibility to unlock my Mac via your app? I don’t trust he 3rd party executables to be installed on my Mac
Thanks
Cheers

    @Leo__: 1Password isn't managing the security of your Mac; rather it's a single app running there. If that were possible we could probably do just what you're asking for. But there is no secure way currently to have one device unlock another — with the notable exception of Apple's unlock with Apple Watch feature, which isn't something available to 3rd party developers. We'd love to do something like this in the future though if it becomes possible. Thanks for the suggestion! :)
