Hi PhotoTed,

This is indeed the case if you are only using 1Password in the browser.

If you install the 1Password desktop app alongside 1Password in the browser they will share the lock state of one another and you will have a few more options when it comes to 1Password auto locking such as 1Password not locking when you close your browser.

You can install the 1Password app from here: Get the 1Password apps.

Let us know how you get on!
