1Password running in a VirtualBox guest doesn't lock when the host goes to sleep mode

I am running 1Password inside a VirtualBox Mint 20.2 machine on a Windows 10 host to circumvent problems with the shared clipboard. The workspace doesn't lock automatically when I put the host machine to sleep, which can present a security risk. IMHO, the "system idle" condition should be met and the workspace locked when waking the host up after 7 hours.

1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: Win 10/VBox 6.1/Linux Mint 20.2

    Hello finwe, thank you for letting us know about this. I'm going to try to reproduce this issue and see what can be done about it. I may be back with a few more questions later on, but first - thank you for reporting it so we can take a look! We appreciate it. 🙏
