Hi there HNofX82

You can set 1Password's auto-lock timer to Never, by following these steps:

  1. Click the 🔽 down arrow at the top of the sidebar and choose Settings.
  2. On the Security tab, set "Lock after the computer is idle for:" to Never.
  3. Turn off "Lock on sleep, screensaver, or switching users".

Then, for as long as 1Password is running, you won't have to unlock it. Make sure that 1Password is running in the system tray as well:

  1. In 1Password's Settings (see above), choose the General tab.
  2. Turn on "Keep 1Password in the system tray".

That way, even if you close the 1Password window, it'll still run in the system tray and will remain unlocked.

Hope that helps! :)
