Comment on About Stolen Device Protection for iPhoneparent

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.
