Lock vs the new pause biometrics

A while back ago I complained about the 1Password (icon, lock) being basically just a exit button, because if you have (auto-lock on exit immediately) enabled it is almost the same security as lock.
Why? Because lock does not make 1Password ask for the Master password.
Lock means to me totally lock.
The lock should be used for when one does not want face i.d. temporally in a rare situation.
I was happy to see that on the latest 1Password update it was decided to add a (pause biometrics).
It takes 4 steps to get to (pause biometrics).
On top of that (pause biometrics) is a temporary thing and after entering the master password face i.d. is still enabled, and that is a good thing, but why bury a temp function in (settings, security) where permanent functions are.
I request that you make the (icon, lock) the (pause biometrics) then it only takes two steps and you can remove the word lock.
Do I have a point?

    The "Lock 1Password and pause biometrics" button is a new feature that was directly inspired by feedback from our customers. By tapping on the button you force 1Password for iOS to require your account password the next time that you unlock the app before you're able to use biometric unlock again.

    I've passed along your request to move the feature to a more handy location to the team. Thank you for the suggestion! 🙂
