winterqt and @jvis 👋

I'm sorry for the delay in responding and I hope that you both had a wonderful time during the holidays!

I've read over the thread and the behaviour, as described, is by design. Our new 1Password for Safari web extension for the iPhone and iPad does not share lock state with the main 1Password app. Rather it's controlled by the Require Authorization After setting found in the following location:

  1. Open and unlock the main 1Password app.
  2. Tap on Settings.
  3. Tap on Safari Extension.

If you have this set to 1 Day then you'll be asked to reauthorize 1Password for Safari using either Face ID or your account password after a day of inactivity and restarting your iPhone won't immediately trigger a need to reauthorize.

Regarding Face ID: if you restart your iPhone and the Require Master Password setting is set to 2 weeks then Face ID will remain available even after a restart unless Face ID has been expired for some other reason.

Please let me know if I misunderstood the issue and I'll be happy to help further. :)
