[62] Automatic login and session management

Hi @r00t, thanks a lot for sharing your frustrations! We're looking to improve the developer experience with this new CLI version, so any friction points are good to know about so we can look into polishing those.

I'm happy to let you know that the sign-in experience has our focus right now. As https://1password.community/discussion/125399 we're soon introducing Biometric Unlock, which will enable you to authenticate your 1Password account using your fingerprint.
There's a couple more friction points around the sign-in experience that we're addressing in this release and in subsequent releases, among which many of the ones you've shared above.

1) Unfortunately, there’s another security factor we have to take into account: if we would allow any terminal to use the CLI when you’re signed in, we’re basically giving any process running on your system access to your account. For this reason, we tie a session to a specific shell session and only allow this session to use 1Password.
2) Included in the Biometric Unlock feature that we're releasing soon is the "timer reset" that you describe, up to a maximum of 12 hours. We're looking into doing the same for logins with password.
3) The Biometric Unlock feature will also prompt you when using any op command when you're not signed in yet. We're also looking into doing the same for logins with password. Does that cover what you're trying to achieve?

Please don't hesitate to continue to share any friction points you encounter, we love to hear opportunities to improve your experience! And no worries about the structure, this is perfect.
