Hello gilwellbear! 👋

I'm sorry for the annoyance. At the moment, this is expected behaviour. Each time that you invoke 1Password using iOS AutoFill from inside of another iOS app you'll need to unlock 1Password. iOS AutoFill is the Apple technology that 1Password uses to fill logins on the iPhone and iPad since iOS doesn't allow 1Password fill logins directly. On the Mac, things are less locked down so 1Password is able to fill logins directly using either the desktop app or 1Password in the browser.

I recommend that you enable biometric unlock so that you don't have to keep typing in your account password each time that you need to unlock 1Password:

If you're using Safari on your iOS device then you can find a similar experience to what you're used to on the desktop by using 1Password for Safari: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad
