Is there a way to permanently set the autolock time setting (Windows 7 PC/Firefox)?

It seems that when I set an autolock, it holds for as long the computer is on but reverts to default 10 minutes when I shut down/restart. 1Password Version: 8.4.0 Extension Version: 2.2.3 ...

Hi heylmg , no problem - I'm happy to help with this.

The screenshot you've shared here is from 1Password.com (which is to say, the 1Password website). You can make some changes to your account here, but not auto-lock settings.

However, you can find those settings in the 1Password desktop app, which should be located under All Programs in your Windows Start menu.

Once 1Password 7 appears on your screen:

  1. Enter your password to unlock the app as usual
  2. Select 1Password > Settings > Security

Here you should find settings that allow you to adjust how long it takes before 1Password locks, and under what conditions.

Let me know if this works for you - we want to make sure you can make the changes you need! 👍
