Stop requring masterpass after every restart.

I'm in a trial phase of 1Password, coming from a competitor (Maybe). I've not had a good start with 1PW and the requirement to re-enter my Master Password when I've shut down my Microsoft 11 desktop PC, which doesn't have a bio-metric device that allows me to use Windows Hello.

My context: We (my wife is a second user and not technically literate so I'm our Tech Support) have: 1 Desktop PC (Windows 11 no bio-metric nor Windows Hello), 1 Laptop with Windows Hello capability (2ndary windows device), 2 Pixel Phones (Android), 1 Samsung Tab S6 light (No bio-metric).

To date I've done most of my testing out 1Password on the Desktop PC. I've made life more challenging/frustrating as while I live in Canada I inadvertently established the trial account on the *.COM (US) site. Frustrating found that I can't logon tot he *.CA site.

I've further created frustration by not understanding the different capabilities of the 1Password App (country neutral it seems), the 1Password Web site (must logon to *.COM" site, and the browser extension (Firefox and Edge). As I'm working towards understanding how to use each of these 1LP apps(?) I'm most frustrated by having to logon every time I've shut down the PC so my wife can use it. Leaving it on 24/7 in my opinion creates it's own security exposures (you can't access a PC and it's data if your PC is off).

I'll be trying the Laptop next to see if life is acceptable with a Windows Hello capable PC. I've tried security settings as per Ekalb's suggestion, but also have selected "Unlock using Windows Hello" as I have a Windows Hello capable Laptop. I'll next deselect the Unlock using Windows Hello and see it this works.

A comment if I may. Given our Windows PC use is in our locked condo we have pretty good physical security. We only use two PC's, which I've found somewhere on my 1LastPass account so 1LP knows which PC's are accessing my/our accounts. I fail to see why 1Password makes logon process so frustratingly challenging. The PW manager I'm looking at leaving had the ability to stipulate "Trust the PC for xx days". Seemed to me a pretty balanced approach to security for a Password Manager.

My long winded comments.

I must say this just may be a deal breaker given our requirements and use case.
