Integrating biometrics/TouchID with 1Password browser extension

[dukee101]

Happy 1Password user here excited about their recent update that features support for unlocking the 1Password browser extension using biometrics/TouchID. However, in practice, I can't seem to get this functioning.

On the 1Password desktop app (which does validly support TouchID for me), I have enabled "Unlock using {Touch ID} {Apple Watch}". But my Chrome extension still asks me to manually type my password each time I restart the browser. Also worth noting: in the settings of the Chrome extension, I've also enabled "Integrate with 1Password app".

Is there some other setting I have to enable for this?

It might be a setting, as TouchID unlock works for me in Brave.

I've always stuck to the extension which utilizes the desktop app because it seemed the strictly browser based one was limited in this way. I'm very interested to hear if you resolve the issue.
