1Password 8 randomly locking without watch unlock support

Since updating to 1Password 8 on an intel Mac with MacOS 12.6, and both Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch Ultra running Watch OS 9, and iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 16.02 I am consistently coming back to 1Password and finding it is locked and does not give me the option of using my Apple Watch to unlock.

I have it set to require password every 2 weeks, and only autolock when sleep/screensaver, or 30 minutes elapses.

If the computer actually goes to screensaver/lock or sleep when I wake it up it USUALLY gives me the Apple Watch option.

But I am frequently coming to my computer where 1Password 8 is locked for no disernable reason and it does NOT give me the Apple Watch option.

1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.6
Browser:_ Safari & Chrome

    Yes sir, Apple Watch unlock is working for my Mac just fine. That is one of the times I’m noticing that 1Password often fails. I will walk up to my Mac and it unlocks with Apple Watch but then 1Password doesn’t even give me the option of Watch unlock.

    Yes I am 100% sure the keyboard combination is not getting hit by mistake.

    Thanks.

    Hi @joshjack,

    Sorry to hear 1Password's auto-lock and Apple Watch unlock aren't behaving as expected. Could I confirm that Apple Watch unlock is working for your device itself?

    I'd recommend double checking if you have a keyboard shortcut set for locking 1Password that might be being triggered by mistake, you can view this in your preferences:

    Does changing the Lock after the computer is idle for time give you different results?

    Let me know what you find and we can investigate further from there! 🙂
