Being prompted to enter my account password more often than expected on my Chromebook
I just migrated to 1Password and I have the impression that I have to unlock it after auto-lock expires. Every 5 hrs I have to enter my long, complex password just to use the browser extension? Am I missing something?

A follow up question on this topic.
While I have figured out the browser extension settings are different than the site settings, I now have the impression that I still have to log into the extension every time I restart the browser. Assuming I'm right (and I do have a bad track record on that), that feels excessive and something that users should be allowed to control themselves. For me, I WFH, live alone, so my systems will never be physically compromised - and even if they were, I would likely have already signed on, so that layer is useless.
So, did I miss something else again???

Hey PhotoTed,
Thanks for the update. Here is our guide on how to manage your auto lock settings: How to set 1Password to lock automatically.
Let us know if there's anything else we can help with at all.

Oops, I missed the settings on the browser extension allowing me to disable auto-lock. Phew. In case some other lost newbie stumbles on this, click the browser extension icon, pick Settings from the menu (icon to the left of New Item). It's under Security.
