2 years agoAuto Locking after a few seconds
1Password automatically locks after a few seconds, even if the auto lock is set to 1 hour.
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.23 (81023003)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 14.2.1 (23C71)
Browser: Not Provided
Hello folks,
Our development team has released improvements to how auto-lock works with certain configurations such as high-performance screen sharing on macOS. Please update to 1Password for Mac version 8.11.12 or later:
If you still see the same issue after updating then please let me know so that we can investigate further.-Dave

Hi jakemauer - I'm sorry to hear that you've also been affected. I've added you to the internal tracking issue that we have open. Does the workaround of temporarily setting the 1Password auto-lock setting to "Never" while screen sharing work for you?

Wanted to chime in that I am seeing the same issue of almost instantaneous locking while using screen sharing, regardless of if I have high performance mode set or not.
My context:
1Password version Mac 8.10.33, 81033001, on PRODUCTION channel
MacOS 14.5 (23F79) on the host that I'm sharing into, on a mac mini M2 pro
MacOS 14.4 (23E214) on the screen sharing client, a macbook pro m3 - 1P_Dave

I agree that the workaround isn't great but my colleagues and I mention it just in case it helps some folks until the issue is permanently resolved. Some users have also reported one of the following options as helping:
- Switching to standard screen sharing mode, or toggling to standard, then back to high-performance.
- Changing auto-lock to "Never": How to set 1Password to lock automatically
These options can be worth trying. In the meantime, I've passed your report along to the team. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

I don't have any updates to share at the moment, the issue is still open with our development team. I've added your report to the internal work item so that our developers are aware that you're affected as well. I'm sorry for the impact to your workflow.

Wondering if there's been any progress on this issue. I'm also experiencing auto-locking of 1Password on a remote machine over Jump Desktop. It's inconsistent, but recently has been within a few seconds of unlocking. Not even long enough to fill a single web-form.
As a workaround I've resorted to unlocking 1Password on the local machine and copy-pasting each item to the remote machine, which is not ideal, but at least https://support.jumpdesktop.com/hc/en-us/articles/216425563-General-Is-the-connection-to-my-computer-secure#:%7E:text=Fluid%20Remote%20Desktop%20uses%20DTLS,this%20must%20be%20configured%20manually..

Apologies, I'm not familiar with a workaround that would work for Jump Desktop, if I do see one I'll update this thread. As Tommy mentioned, our developers are investigating the issue and hopefully a fix will be available soon in a future update to 1Password.
I'm sorry again for the inconvenience.

Thanks, but this solution does not work for me as I use Jump Desktop for screen sharing (using Fluid, not VNC) and I do not find this option.

Ah, Jump. It has been noted by another user as exhibiting the same type of situation. Apologies, I am not aware of a way to adjust it. It is not something I use. The other user was unable to locate a setting.

The issue is under investigation. We have had other users report it seemingly was related to high performance mode from their perception. They disabled the option and things seemed to work better for them and it stopped the erroneous locking. If you don't wish to give that a try, that's ok too. As I mentioned, it's a known issue that has recently came to light and now it's on the teams radar.
If you're looking on how to turn off the option (change to standard) it's in the connection menu for screen sharing.
- Select the device connection.
- Tap the "i" at the end
- Change the connection type to standard.
