Thank you for reaching out! You can set 1Password to lock more quickly, and more often, by adjusting auto-lock settings: How to set 1Password to lock automatically
Aside from the Autofill feature, 1Password runs in the background and provides useful features like Quick Access that would be more inconvenient to use if you had to unlock the app every single time that you used it. Can you tell me a little more about why you'd like to be prompted to unlock 1Password each time that you use it? Why not just lock the entire device in those circumstances using a shortcut like Windows + L
?
I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
