TouchID requires password too often

Ok, after trying out Roboform (which im going to move over two after all these years) I can see what's going on with 1password (at least for me).
If I use my MacBook's built in keyboard and not an external keyboard, i get the option for fingerprint come up every time. If I use my Logitech keyboard I don’t get this. Now the makes sense as it doesn't have Touch ID. The issue now is that Touch ID is turned off even if I go back to my Macbook keyboard. I have to enter a password to unlock it and make sure I never use my Logitech keyboard. This is a silly situation an don’t one I can work with.
I tried the same thing out with Roboform and this remembers that I have Touch ID if Im using that keyboard, and disables Touch ID if I'm using my Logitech. I can go back and forward without it getting messed up.
So if this is normal, and it seems it is not going to change, im out. Roboform is cheaper anyway, with less hassle as I also don't have to click on the Touch ID icon first. If it sees I have Touch ID that's the default log in system.
