Require Master Password setting not being respected

Hi

Under "1Password > Settings > Advanced > Security > Require Master Password" I have this set as 1 day on iOS and iPad OS devices.

However it never asks me for my master password, well it hasn't done for 3+ days anyway.

Is this setting not working correctly? Is this something to do with the fact I have 2 accounts on the app? How does it decide which Master Password I should be entering?

Thanks.

1Password Version: 7.4.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: iOS 13.1.2
Sync Type: 1password.com

    @mdeluk: The auto-lock timer starts when you are not using 1Password at all, and re-starts if you do. So if you're opening the main 1Password app, using Autofill, or the 1Password extension at all, that setting will not even apply. You'd need to not use 1Password any of those ways for a full 24 hours for that to retire your Master Password instead of biometrics. And the 1Password app always unlocks using the Master Password of the first vault/account you have setup in it.

    Ahh OK that makes perfect sense!

    It would be great if we could have a 12 hour option or 6 hour option then. Instead of a jump from 1 hour to 1 day. :)
