No option to allow windows hello to unlock 1password

Thanks ag_mike_d for your help. Until now, I've not been using the browser extension for 1 Password, because I didn't like the interaction and confusion that it creates with the Google UserID/Password Autofill feature. Utilization of the Microsoft Hello feature for opening 1Password had not been a problem for me, until I updated Windows 1Password, to V 8.8.0, as I described in my previous post.

Yesterday, I activated the 1Password Extension, in order to alleviate the problem. It has sort of resolved it, but operation seems erratic. When I open 1Password after expiration of the 10 minute timer, it sometimes initially just shows the request for me to input the password.

If I then exit 1Password, and open it again, it then shows the invitation to use my fingerprint to open the app via Windows Hello. Other times, I think I'm seeing 1Password stay available for opening without entering any password, well after the 10 minutes has expired.

It's all a bit confusing, but I would like to know if it is actually necessary to have the 1Password browser extension active, in order to utilize Microsoft Hello access to 1Password 8.8.0. If that is now a requirement, I will continue to keep it active, but that would be a disappointment, since it was not required previously.

I will also send the diagnostic report as you suggested.
