3 years agoi set my 1 password to not lock for 300 minutes, but it auto locks every time i leave a window
I changed computers. In my old computer, it did not auto lock. I installed 1password in this new system and it auto locks immediately if i leave a tab or window, although it is set to not do that for the max time.
1Password Version: Not Provided

Nope - not going to beta test for a company I'm paying.

I'm having the same problem. I have the newest, "integrated" version of 1PW and can only set auto-lock in the desktop app. I have the following setup:
Set to lock after 4 hrs. No sleep/screensaver/etc on. Yet it locks after about 5-10 minutes! Not acceptable.

Hello @janetz
I see you wrote into 1Password Support regarding auto lock settings, I just wanted to check in to see how things were going?
If you're still needing assistance, feel free to reply here and we will be happy to assist further. If everything is OK and you no longer need help, you can ignore this message. 🙂 - Jack_P_1P

Hi @janetz:
Just to confirm, are you configuring the auto lock preferences in 1Password for Windows, or my.1Password.com? The settings on my.1Password.com are only for when you're using 1Password.com.
To configure when 1Password for Windows locks, follow the steps here: How to set 1Password to lock automatically
Let me know how you get on with that!
Jack
