Mac with Touch Id, do not retype your code / password each time you restart

Hello everyone.
I use the latest beta under Macos. My computer is a mac Mini M1 with the magic keyboard Touch Id.
I activated the Touch Id option in 1password to unlock my safe.
It works perfectly.
However, each time my Mac restarts, I have to retype the 1password password on restart. I thought I could just unlock 1password, with Touch Id without retyping the code every time I reboot.
Isn't there the possibility, under Macos with Touch Id, of not having to retype your 1password password at each restart?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

1Password Version: 8.8.0
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: MacOs 12,4

    Hi, @Zayatoshi. I was just scanning the forum and found some old posts like this one with no replies. Sorry about that!

    It's possible this changed in the last few months, but I just tested and after restarting my Mac I was still able to unlock 1Password with Touch ID. If you're not seeing the same thing, could you let me know?

    Note that you are required to unlock with your password every two weeks just to make sure you don't forget it, but that's unrelated to restarting your computer.
