Hi @samaparicio, thank you for this thoughtful feedback.

To start with an overview: you're right - this is a new approach to unlocking in 1Password 8, and it was implemented for security reasons which Jeffrey Goldberg, one of our resident security gurus, explains here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/608291/#Comment_608291
