Way overdue feature IMHO. A reason why I didn’t want to use passcodes or keychain for passwords was that once someone knew my passcode to unlock my phone, they could access all my accounts
1Password at least uses a different password and isn’t unlockable with passcode alone
Nitpicking here. Older 1Password versions do allow unlocking using the iOS passcode if biometry fails, but I’m not sure it was ever intended as a feature. It isn’t a UI that is built into 1Password though, it’s the iOS fallback UI for that scenario (which looks very similar to the SIM PIN unlock screen).
A _lot_ of apps did and still do fall back to iOS passcode authentication when biometry fails. It does seem like more developers are disabling this, however.
