LOCK AFTER SYSTEM IDLE
I have "Lock after the system is idle" set for four hours... If my system goes to sleep (system sleeps if idle for 10 minutes), 1Password requires a login. This is dumb.
1Password Version: No...

1Password TeamHi wlclev42:
To confirm, the "Lock after system is idle for" setting controls how long your computer must be idle and unlocked before 1Password locks. The setting "Lock 1Password when computer locks" is independent of that timer. Whenever your computer sleeps, locks, or goes to screensaver, and that setting is enabled, 1Password will lock.
It sounds like for your use case, leaving the timer at 4 hours, and disabling "Lock 1Password when computer locks" will be what you're looking for. Let me know how you get on with that!
