4 years agoHi Abhijit, apologies for the mix-up.
The length of time the 1Password app stays open in based on a couple different settings.
The settings you've shared here would not cause 1Password to lock on sleep, screensaver, or switching users. Good so far.
However, it would cause 1Password to lock after the computer is idle for 10 minutes. So this is based on "system idle time."
I can see how those might sound similar, but they can be separate - for example, some people have their device set to never use a screensaver, or to go to sleep only after many hours, never sleep while a laptop is plugged in, and so on. But the system can still be "idle" nonetheless.
You're correct that if you set that value to never, 1Password will not lock due to system idle time. 👍
Again, sorry for any confusion around this, and I hope this explanation proves clarifying!
