Content visible after restart

Running 4.0.8 on 10.9

If I restart with 1P open, when I first login again, I can see my content (not passwords). After logging in and apps have started, the lock screen appears.

Hi, Stephen.

I haven't been able to reproduce this; maybe I'm doing it wrong? :)

If I restart with 1P open, when I first login again, I can see my content (not passwords).

Are you restarting your system with the 1P4 main application open and unlocked? And after that restart and first login, you're seeing the unlocked 1P4 main window (temporarily?) that was last open before the system restart?

After logging in and apps have started, the lock screen appears.

This is where I'm confused because I thought you were already logged in. :)

I'm only seeing the lock screen after a restart/login if 1P4 had previously been open/unlocked.

Thanks for helping me better understand this.

I have 1P open when I restart my Mac. After restart, I log back in to my account. As the login items and previously open applications are starting up, 1P is among them (it's not in my login items). I see my entries (passwords are obscured). When login is complete and all items are running, 1P shows the login screen. At some point, 1P switched from showing the items to the lock screen. I'm not sure when, because other apps were starting up and the 1P screen was obscured.

Thanks for the clarification, Stephen.

What you're temporarily seeing during login, until the unlock screen appears, is a snapshot of the 1P4 window state before you previously logged out and/or restarted, until the unlock screen appears. This is normal OS X behavior since Lion. The easiest workaround is simply to quit 1P4 before logout. Another is to disable this option during logout, although it affects all applications:

And, while I haven't personally tested it, a utility like RestoreMeNot to control window restoration on a application basis might work with 1P4.

We'll look into changing this so a restored 1P4 window won't temporarly display a snapshot of its previous content. Thanks for mentioning it!

RestoreMeNot returns this on Mavericks. I think its due to 1Password itself and not just Mavericks. Even launching 1Password once as in the description fails to allow its addition to the preference pane window.

Thanks for testing that, Tommy ( @thightower ).

Currently the best thing to do is quit 1P4 before logout/restart if its window restoration is an issue for someone. I've already added this to our tracker.

Yep,

I always un check the box myself, just wanted to point it out as you mentioned you hadn't used it.

@sjk and Stephen,

I'm not sure if it will work, but running this terminal command may prevent 1Password from saving it's last window:

defaults write com.agilebits.onepassword-osx ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

It might be worth a try. :)
