Solution for 1Password locking itself constantly despite auto-lock settings disabled
For the past several months I've been frustrated with 1Password on Firefox locking itself seemingly at random despite disabling the auto-lock settings. I assumed this was due to another bug with the browser add-on integration, but it looks like it was from reflexively using the "Quit 1Password" menu item instead of "Close" with the main 1Password app. I think this is bad UX considering there's already an item to lock 1Password and most users probably do this by accident. Perhaps it would be better to have two menu items like Fantastical, e.g. "Quit 1Password" (which would be the same functionality as "Close") and "Quit 1Password Completely" (which would work like Quit does currently, and not be tied to the Command-Q shortcut).
In the meantime, you can disable the shortcut with the following Terminal command:
$ defaults write com.1password.1password NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Quit 1Password" "\0"
It should look like this when done, and not show any shortcut:
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to assign two keyboard shortcuts (Command-Q and Command-W) to the Close menu bar item, so this requires not using Command-Q.
