Windows Hello prompt is way too frequent
The latest version of 1Password for Windows uses Windows Hello to "make sure it's you." But it prompts me for a fingerprint or PIN code way too often. It prompts me again when I haven't used 1Password for maybe 10 minutes. Is there a way to change this so that it's at least a couple of hours?
1Password Version: 8.9.12
Extension Version: 2.6.0
OS Version: Windows 11 Pro
Browser:_ Chrome

You can change how long 1Password stays unlocked by following the steps shown here:
☞ How to set 1Password to lock automatically — Manage auto-lock in the 1Password apps
You can change it to a range of times, between 1 minute and 8 hours, or Never. Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help. :)

Thanks very much. It was set to 10 minutes. Can you also tell me what "Use the Trusted Platform Module with Windows Hello" means?

You're welcome. Turning on the TPM means that you'll be able to use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password, even if it's been quit, or if you've restarted your computer. With the TPM off, you'd need to enter your account password instead.
There's more about that setting here: Use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password on your Windows PC — Manage your settings. There's also a link to more information about the security implications of that setting.
