(macOS) - Apple Watch unlock after reboot

I'm using my Apple Watch with 1Password and my iMacPro ...
With 1Password 7 I didn't had the impression that I need to use the password the first time after a reboot like it is with 1 Password 8 ...
Especially with the beta cycle we are not on a world where you don't reboot your Mac for weeks now ...

I hope it's temporary and there will be an improvement to only put the "complex" Master password only every 2 weeks (if we had the option for more I will take it...)

When you want to log there is nothing else that the enter password option ...

Thanks of taking care of this, again if you want any logs or info let me know...

I looked again and we do have a known issue still open where the Apple Watch unlock prompt will not appear automatically on a device that doesn't have Touch ID (like a Mac mini or iMac). That matches what @alexclst is reporting

@1P_Rob --I'm a little confused as to what the expected behavior is right now...on my MacBook Pro 2017 with touchbar, when I'm using it in clamshell mode with external monitors, 1Password has an Apple Watch button next to the password field. When the lid is open, that icon changes to a touch ID icon. I must click that icon or hit enter to get the prompt to unlock on my watch. Is this the current expected behavior for unlock with Apple Watch?

Interesting new situation ... as I moved to the NIGHTLY ... everytime when 1Password does not display the Apple Watch icon, I look for an update , install it ... the apple watch icon come back.
is there a way to "fully" restart 1 Password? it should have the same effect... it's will be a workaround but better...
