Hello @jparis! 👋

At the moment, this is expected behaviour. Each time that you invoke 1Password using Password AutoFill you'll need to unlock the app. The auto-lock setting that you referred to only applies when opening the main 1Password app from your home screen and not from inside of another app. To make it easier to unlock 1Password I recommend enabling Touch ID or Face ID unlock:

Alternatively, if you're using Safari then you can use our 1Password for Safari extension. 1Password for Safari features greatly improved filling capabilities and offers an experience that is similar to what you're already used to with 1Password for the browser on the desktop. It doesn't need to be unlocked each time that you use it.

Here is a guide on how to enable 1Password for Safari on devices running iOS and iPadOS 15 or later: Get to know 1Password for Safari on your iPhone or iPad
