Auto-lock options limited
In previous versions of 1Password, you could set the auto-lock time to 4 hours, which is a good option for a desktop. However, the beta version has removed this and has only a huge jump between 1 hou...
I would say honestly that 4 hours and 8 hours are too long in my opinion.
My concern would be that employees would set it to these long times and potentially abandon their computers at points leaving their vault open to be tampered with. (As an option, might it be possible to set a maximum auto-lock time for an organisation?)
The whole point with 1Password is that it should be unlocked only as long to unlock what you need. For this reason, I have my 1Password set to 10 minutes.
I definitely get that some people will want the long unlock times, but as a security app, I feel like 1Password should balance the security implications of that since people might just set a long time without thinking of the ramifications.
