No matter how long or short I set the 1password app on my iMac

No matter how long or short I set the 1password app on my iMac to stay open, it never waits that length of time. I set it for say 2 hours but after perhaps 20 minutes (I've never timed it) I have to log in again. Very annoying.

1Password Version: 2.2.3
Extension Version: 2.2.3
OS Version: 12.2.1

    You were correct. Auto-Lock after 5 minutes Idle was on.
    Should be OK now.
    Thanks

    Hello @Henry_Barnett! 👋

    I'm sorry to hear that 1Password for Mac is locking more often than you would expect. It sounds like you've set the "Lock after the computer is idle for" setting to 2 hours, can you tell me which of the other auto-lock settings are enabled:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    2. Click on 1Password 7 next to the  in the menu bar.
    3. Click on Preferences.
    4. Click on Security.

    Is it possible that you're triggering one of the other auto-lock conditions that you have turned on? I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
