How can I modify the locking feature of 1Password so out goes longer between sessions?

The icon in my browser window locks after a very short time period

    Hey @orthodmd and @love2kruz, if the extension and app are locking up more often than you'd like, then you can adjust the auto-lock settings via the steps here: https://support.1password.com/auto-lock/#manage-auto-lock-in-the-1password-app

    Those settings in the app would also apply to the extension, as long as the shared lock state feature is enabled (it is enabled by default).

    That said, if you're finding that the extension locks up even though the 1Password app is unlocked, then the issue relates more to the extension not being able to connect with the app. To fix that, please try the steps below:

    1. Right-click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose Settings.
    2. Under General, disable "Integrate with 1Password app".
    3. Fully quit 1Password app and browser.
    4. Restart the 1Password app and then open browser.
    5. Right-click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose Settings.
    6. Under General, re-enable "Integrate with 1Password app".
    7. Test things out with the extension.

    Let me know how things are going and if the suggestions above helped.

    I have the same question. Running 1pw 7, 8 has to many bug, Mac 12.4 in both Safari and Firefox.

    The icon in my browser tool bar locks frequently. How can I extend the time period?
