Create "Mac Login" login

How do I go about setting up a "Mac Login" so that I can use 1Password to auto-enter my password when prompted by MacOS? I know this can be done as I've set it up on one of my Macs, but I can't remember how I did it. I've searched for it, but have been unable to find the instructions.

1Password Version: 8.10.18
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 14
Browser: Safari

    2. Search "Mac login" when selecting what type of item to create and select "Mac login" from the results:


    1. Fill in your item details and save the new item. Ensure you see "Mac login" under the Linked Apps section of the item:

    Let me know how that goes or if you have any questions!
