Thanks so much for the response! Good to know this is by design. I hope the UI can be made a bit more proactive about prompting to unlock a 2nd account. I might consider using the same master password for both since I was already keeping the password for the 2nd one in my main account.

Think we might eventually see in-app 1password.com login suggestions for unlocking/adding additional accounts? Does macOS Monterey's iOS style autofill feature support this? (I haven't jumped on the beta) At least Quick Access is usable when the the main app's UI is locked-out by a preference panel.
