Can I secure browser extension?
I'm using app on Windows 11. Installed 1Password app yesterday. My Surface PC is set to open with Windows Hello or with PIN so I think it's secure. I installed the 1Password Edge Browser Extension...
Since it is locked on wake, that would be effectively the same as locking.
Even at home with the door locked, you're training for all the other situations. It's just good digital hygiene. Eventually you won't notice it as a process or an inconvenience.
Then the timed screen lock is just insurance, so you can leave it long enough that you rarely get interrupted by it when you're using, but not interacting with the device.
The same goes for the (more) mobile devices, only more so.
Thanks for taking the time to offer a solution. Question would be on my Surface Pro PC would putting it to sleep work just as well. When it awakes, it requires the Windows Hello or PIN number to open. Maybe in can shorten my screen lock times. I'm at home using it and almost no one ever is around that would be a threat anyway. Just paranoid I guess.
Thanks again,
David

Thanks. I have a new Logi keyboard and just saw it has a Lock key which of course locks the screens. To open the Surface, I just move the mouse, and Windows Hello pops up. Quick and easy. Thanks everyone.
