Being prompted to enter my account password more often than expected on my Chromebook

I just migrated to 1Password and I have the impression that I have to unlock it after auto-lock expires. Every 5 hrs I have to enter my long, complex password just to use the browser extension? Am I missing something?

    A follow up question on this topic.

    While I have figured out the browser extension settings are different than the site settings, I now have the impression that I still have to log into the extension every time I restart the browser. Assuming I'm right (and I do have a bad track record on that), that feels excessive and something that users should be allowed to control themselves. For me, I WFH, live alone, so my systems will never be physically compromised - and even if they were, I would likely have already signed on, so that layer is useless.

    So, did I miss something else again???

    Oops, I missed the settings on the browser extension allowing me to disable auto-lock. Phew. In case some other lost newbie stumbles on this, click the browser extension icon, pick Settings from the menu (icon to the left of New Item). It's under Security.
