Hello @williamk! 👋

I'm sorry that 1Password isn't locking as expected. Can you double-check that auto-lock is set to five minutes using the steps in this guide: How to set 1Password to lock automatically

If auto-lock is indeed already set correctly then are you letting our PC sit idle with no activity (including mouse or keyboard activity) for at least five minutes? 1Password locks based on system idleness, not the idleness of the 1Password app itself, do you have any apps or devices that might be keeping your PC from going idle?

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
