Hey @jmillikin,

Thank you for your suggestion, so for my understanding you would like the settings as they are but instead of them to be effective when your computer is left idle you'd prefer for them to be in effect when 1Password itself is left idle?

As for 1Password staying unlocked overnight this doesn't sound quite right. 1Password in your browser shares the lock state of your 1Password app so could you share a screenshot of the following settings for me:

  1. Open and unlock your 1Password desktop app
  2. Click on your account in the top right hand corner and choose Settings
  3. Click on 'Security' and send a screenshot of the settings in this window under 'Auto lock'.

I look forward to hearing from you.
