1password locks within 10 seconds on High Performance or Dynamic resolution screen share on macOS

As the subject notes, I've noticed 1password locks itself within about 10 seconds regardless of what I've set the auto-lock setting to.

This makes copying and grabbing passwords, otp codes etc very difficult as I need to do it within 10 seconds of opening 1password.

This has been happening for quite some time (6+ months at least) when I run screen shares with a remote macOS host via the screen share app using High Performance or Dynamic Resolution.

The issue does not occur if I change from High Performance to standard in the macOS screen share app.

High Performance is useful as it adjusts the remote display to match the display I'm using on my local machine. Which makes needing to switch back to standard - not ideal.

The remote machine display does not scale nicely if in standard screen share type mode.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue?

Remote Mac is running MacOS 15.6.1
1password ver. 8.11.6

macOS

Also having the same issue on my work computer(s), making it difficult to get work done that requires me to authenticate to things.

Would be nice if this could get bumped up in priority.

+1 on getting this fixed ASAP!

I have set 1PW to never lock when idle which is inherently less secure - not good for a password manager. 😉

Getting bummed on those 1password idle timeout bugs. I just hit the same thing recently and I have to resort to use browser extension instead of app on mac and standard apple screenshare degrades user experience a lot especially if you have more than one physical displays on the remote computers. In addition to mac there is another idle timeout bug with sway+wayland in which 1password never locks, and this one is nearly impossible to workaround.

Hi @andrew1234, I’m sorry for the disruption and frustration these issues are causing. I’ve added your report to the internal trackers for both issues.
