When I try to fill my personal info into a website e.g. name, address, email, etc., I used to be able to click on the LastPass prompt and it would fill all the relevant info. Now it's asking for my master password. I opened the item and see that the "ask for master password" checkbox is unchecked so why is it now asking for my MP every time?

If LastPass is asking for your master password every time you try to fill your personal information into a website, even though the "ask for master password" checkbox is unchecked, there could be a few possible reasons for this behavior:
Security Settings: LastPass may have updated its security settings, requiring the master password to be entered before autofilling personal information. This added security measure ensures that only authorized users can access and autofill sensitive information.
Browser Configuration: Check if your browser settings have changed or if there have been any updates that might be affecting LastPass's autofill behavior. It's possible that a browser update or setting change is causing LastPass to prompt for the master password.
LastPass Configuration: Double-check LastPass's configuration to ensure that the "ask for master password" checkbox is indeed unchecked for the specific item you're trying to fill. It's possible that there may be a discrepancy between the configuration and what is displayed.
LastPass Extension: Update your LastPass browser extension to the latest version, as it may contain bug fixes or improvements that address the autofill behavior.
Same **bleep** problem here and the ask for master password is turned off for the address! This is totally absurd meaning I have to permanently unlock LastPass on my browser because of this stupidity! Now that makes me not secure at all.. Stupid Devs of LastPass!
I'd rather just fill out all my info manually. I'm hoping someone can offer a fix.

I don't want that security for addresses! I want to disable that idiotic feature I don't want to be entering in a super long password everytime I need to fill in a form! It's dumb!
If your password manager unexpectedly asks for a master password, despite being set otherwise, verify your settings, and consider reinstalling or updating the password manager to resolve the issue.
