Using 1password to auto login to 1password

I think I may know the answer but I wanted to check, because there are no stupid questions when it comes to security.

I'm a very new 1password user. I've noticed multiple times on my browser that the 1p website may prompt me for my 1p master password, but it also offers to autofill it. Huh? Is that just because I've already signed in to another tab, so it's already verified my password elsewhere so is letting me in easily? If so, great. If not, there is something wrong with the universe... :-)

    @mvsjes2 When you create your 1Password account an item is created in your Private vault containing your 1Password username, Master Password and Secret Key. So, if you are already logged-in to 1Password in the browser, it can offer to auto-fill your login to the 1password.com website.

    OK, thanks for the reassurance.
