Hi robert1p, thanks for confirming that setting was enabled. We've made some changes in a recent Nightly release that should make the auto prompt more reliable. If you'd like to give these changes a try, you can switch to the Nightly release channel:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password.
  2. Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar and choose Settings.
  3. Click Advanced, then set “Release channel” to Nightly.

As a quick note: This Nightly release channel is for cutting-edge updates to 1Password; it's where new features and updates first go into effect. That also means it's not as tested as the Beta or Production channels, so you may run into bugs we haven't encountered yet.

Let me know if the Nightly resolves the issue for you, or if you prefer to wait - keep an eye on our releases page for when these changes make it to the Production release. Thanks!

Ali
