?I recently read that in parts of the USA, if you use biometrics on your devices, then the police can legally use your biometrics to access your data without a search warrant. ?But they can¡¯t force you to give your device passcodes. ?For example ¡
Some states now allow individuals to keep their ID on their device, rather than having to carry their physical ID. ?There are times when you are required to show your ID to the police. ?If you hand your unlocked device to the police, then you are essentially entitling them to look at anything on it.
Given the state of my hands, I use both autofill and biometrics. ?They have been a lifesaver.

I have a completely unfounded and probably silly belief that hackers are more likely to break into the security protections on my browser than 1Password. So I don¡¯t store anything in something that is itself not password protected (as in I don¡¯t use my browser¡¯s autofill, which I understand is different from Apple¡¯s Passwords app).
