Yeah, data is encrypted with the password and thus it needs to be unlocked. There have been talks on lifting this but I am not sure when it happens.
I think there is an issue for it in case somebody wants to contribute to it. :)
PSA
If you run #AlbyHub on nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll you need to log back into AlbyHub to unlock it.
nostr:npub1xv8mzscll8vvy5rsdw7dcqtd2j268a6yupr6gzqh86f2ulhy9kkqmclk3x FYI this is the only app on my node I have to do this with.

its only really an issue if you havent setup a way to remote into your node to unlock it. I always forget about it and wonder why I cant zap but the "your AlbyHub is locked" emails do help.
