Locking 1Password

Is there a way to have 1Password autolock after *it* (as opposed to browser, keyboard, mouse, activity, etc.) has not been used for a certain time? I'd be interested in all scenarios, but am particularly interested regarding browser extensions at the moment. Thanks!

Hello @acg! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! 1Password will lock when there’s no keyboard, mouse, or trackpad activity on your computer for the specified number of minutes. This is based on the system idle time. You can find more information here: Manage unlock and auto-lock in the browser extension

It's not currently possible to have 1Password lock based on when you used 1Password last and I've filed a feature request on your behalf to have the team consider adding such an option in the future.
