A word of warning, 1Password requires you to enter the master 
password every 2 weeks. So you may want to find a better way to 
do it, or try to memorize that password.

I personally have it set to require the MP whenever the screen is 
locked and reopened. I have the Mac desktop app installed, and 
you log in once, and it works for all browsers at that point 
(restarting browser doesn't require a reentry).
