1Password 8.10.7 Mac locks when window closed
1Password is locking when I close the window (red X button). If I just hide the window (yellow — button) it remains unlocked.
This is a new behavior, perhaps coincidentally after returning from sev...

2 years ago1P_Dave Hmm I would consider this a regression. I understand wanting the 1Password app to close after the main window closes, but if the explicit auto-lock timeout has not elapsed then the app should absolutely re-open in an unlocked state. The auto-lock settings mention either "Lock on sleep, screensaver, or switching users" or "Lock after the computer is idle for ...". Main window close falls under neither of those options, so I don't expect auto-lock to trigger on main window close.
The difference in locking behavior whether you have the "Menu icon" on/off sounds like a bug. The settings menu doesn't mention anything about this effect. And too many apps have forced themselves into my menu bar that I can't see some of them behind my MacBook's camera notch, so personally I don't consider keeping 1Password in my Menu Bar a viable workaround (nor is installing additional software, paid or not, to hide it from the menu bar).
This has been driving me crazy the last week or so because the SSH Agent now also completely shuts down when the 1Password app main window isn't open, even if the auto-lock timeout hasn't elapsed. It doesn't even respond to key requests anymore :(
