Hi @JerryD

1Password in your browser can integrate with the desktop app, which will allow them to lock and unlock together. This can make it such that you do not have to unlock again after quitting and relaunching your browser. It also makes it such that you can unlock using options like Apple Watch, Touch ID, and Windows Hello, if enabled in the desktop app.

Can you please check that the following options are enabled?

  • In the desktop app:
    • 1Password > Settings... > Browser > Connect with 1Password in the browser
  • In your browser:
    • Right click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar > Settings > Integrate with 1Password app

Once you've verified both of those settings are enabled the lock state should be maintained across browser sessions. Please let us know how it turns out. 😃
