Hello GregAndrews,

My name is Zaid, and I am part of the 1Password support team. I'll be happy to help you.

I'd like to start by welcoming you to the 1Password community forum!

Regarding the requirement to enter your master password, it appears that you're configuring the auto-lock timer to 300 minutes for your 1Password.com session. This setting specifically manages session security within your web browser. Your session will lock either when you close the browser or if the tab remains inactive for 10 minutes.

If you would like to change the auto-lock settings for the 1Password desktop app or the extension, I recommend checking the following support page: How to set 1Password to lock automatically.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you're still running into any trouble.
