Set up Touch ID

A big part of what makes iOS 8 so great is how Apple is finally opening up its mobile operating system to developers, more than ever before. Take Touch ID, for example.With a little help from the iOS 8 SDK and the new Local Authentication Framework, third-party apps can tap Touch ID to authenticate a user in a safe manner as fingerprint data is protected and never accessed by iOS or apps. 1Password 7 uses the Secure Enclave in your Mac to protect your encryption key when you use Touch ID, so that no programs on your computer can interfere. The touch bar simply did not ask me for a Touch Id, and I had to enter my password each time. I managed to fix the problem in the following way: In System Preferences, Touch ID, I unchecked the 'Use Touch ID for:' 'Unlocking your Mac'. Then I logged out. Then I logged in. Then I checked the 'Use Touch ID for:' 'Unlocking your Mac' again. Mac TOUCH ID Integration Hey, does the Touch ID integration work identically to keychains one? I mean if I want to log in to amazon and I am on the login page, is it just a tap on the Touch Bar or do I have to do more steps in 1password? If Face ID or Touch ID fails, you will need to enter a password. In the case of 1Password, this means that if biometric authentication does not work, you will need to use the master password.

Before you can set up Touch ID in 1Password, you’ll need to set up Touch ID on your Mac . Then follow these steps:

1. Open and unlock 1Password.
2. Choose 1Password > Preferences from the menu bar, and click Security.
3. Select “Allow Touch ID to unlock 1Password”.

Your Master Password still protects your data

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. Your data is encrypted with your Master Password and Secret Key, and that remains true even when you use Touch ID or Apple Watch to unlock.

You can also tell 1Password to require your Master Password after a specific amount of time. Go to Preferences > Security and change the Require Master Password setting.

Your Master Password is secured by the Secure Enclave

When you use Touch ID or Apple Watch to unlock, 1Password stores an encrypted secret on disk. This secret is used to decrypt your 1Password data when your fingerprint is recognized, or you approve 1Password on Apple Watch. In 1Password 7 and later, the secret is encrypted using an encryption key stored in the Secure Enclave, which only 1Password can access.

To decrypt the secret, 1Password proves its identity using code signatures, and then it moves the encrypted secret to the Secure Enclave. The secret is decrypted using the encryption key and returned to 1Password to decrypt your data.

This process happens locally, and the encryption key never leaves the Secure Enclave.

1Password removes the encrypted secret from disk when:

• You use Touch ID and your fingerprint isn’t recognized three times in a row
• The amount of time in Preferences > Security > Require Master Password has elapsed.

Protect yourself when using Touch ID or Apple Watch to unlock

Follow these tips to stay safe when you use Touch ID or Apple Watch to unlock:

• Remember your Master Password. If you use Touch ID or Apple Watch to unlock frequently, it may be easier to forget your Master Password because you’re not regularly typing it.

• If you’re using 1Password 6, don’t share the password you use to log in to your Mac. Someone who knows it can enroll a fingerprint and use it to unlock 1Password 6. 1Password 7 and later automatically require your Master Password after a new fingerprint is enrolled on your Mac.

• If you’re concerned someone may attempt to use your fingerprint or Apple Watch without your consent, turn off unlock using Touch ID and Apple Watch. Retrieving your Master Password from your mind while you sleep is still in the realm of science fiction. However, your fingerprint or unlocked Apple Watch can be used without your consent whether you’re sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise. If you anticipate such a situation, turn off unlock using Touch ID and Apple Watch.
