Thanks for confirming that you're using iOS AutoFill. When you fill a login using iOS AutoFill (the prompt above your keyboard) you'll always be asked to unlock 1Password. This is currently a limitation of our implementation of AutoFill on the iPhone and iPad and I've passed along your feedback to the team internally so that they can look into possibly changing this behaviour in the future.

I recommend giving the 1Password for Safari browser extension a try, it will only require you to unlock when the "Reauthorize after" timer that I mentioned in my previous post expires: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad
