1Password doesn't lock when computer is idle [Caused by 3rd-party app not allowing Windows to idle)

Hi I have a problem 1Password doesn't lock when I completely leave my desktop alone. And i have set the setting to lock after 30 seconds idle thanks to Windows hello.

Hi @johs,

Thanks for reporting this.

Just to be clear, you're not touching your keyboard and mouse for more than 30 seconds?

Also, are you using any bit mining software on your computer or anything that is modifying the computer's idle state?

MikeT

I just tested this with the same versions (1Password and Windows) as yours and it auto-locked for me.

johs

No I'm not touching my keyboard or mouse for 30 seconds or more and I don't have any bit mining software.

Thank you.

No problem!

MikeT

Just an update, we've narrowed it down to either Asus's AI Suite tool or SteelSeries software, they're not allowing Windows to idle properly.

According to my test a few minutes ago it's both software.

MikeT

Awesome, thanks for sharing that. We'll try to get in touch with them about the issue.
