Two Factor Authentication on 1Password Account is Required Only Once

I enabled two factor authentication to access my 1Password account today. I was expecting to be prompted for a code every time I supply the account password to open my vault. It appears the 2FA code is required only once per device. The scenario I'm trying to address is my phone falling into someone else's hands. Now, I have Face ID authentication enabled and I suppose that's tough to fake, but is there a way to set the account up so that the 2FA code is required every time I supply the 1Password account password to open a vault?

1Password Version: 7.9.8
Extension Version: 2.3.7
OS Version: IOS 15.6.1
Browser:_ Safari

    I just realized that the 2FA code generating app is also on my phone. So, if someone has the phone, they have the code as well.

    I guess the primary protection here is against someone trying to access my vault from a new device.
