1Password will not quit when quit from the 1password icon in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen
The macOS menu bar is located at the top of your screen:
Icons that you see at the bottom of the screen are placed in the Dock which is different from the menu bar. Apple has some guides explaining both the menu bar and the Dock here:
Only quitting from the menu bar icon will fully close the 1Password app and stop its background processes. Once the app is fully closed, the app will lock.
When you quit 1Password from the Dock, you're only closing the main window. The background processes continue to run and it's expected behaviour that 1Password will stay unlocked until your auto-lock settings kick in. We keep the background processes active, and unlocked, so that you continue to have access to features like Quick Access and Universal Autofill even if the main window is closed.
If you would like 1Password to fully close, and lock, when you quit the app from the Dock then you'll need to follow these steps:
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click General.
- Turn off "Keep 1Password in the menu bar".
Then try to quit 1Password from the Dock again. Let me know if you have any questions.
