Chrome extension constantly asks for master PW (will Yubikey solve it?)

Hi maxamaxa2, thanks for reaching out!

It's not currently possible to use a YubiKey in the way you describe. However, based on your description, it sounds as if you might be using the 1Password extension in a standalone manner. If so, this behaviour can be improved by installing the 1Password 8 desktop app alongside it. The desktop app will integrate with the browser extension in order to share unlock states, allowing the extension to remain unlocked through closing and reopening your browser.

Once you have both installed, I would recommend adjusting your auto-lock settings in the app to meet your needs. The changes will apply to the extension as well:

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard, and click 1Password near the top of the list.
   • If you don't see 1Password listed here, you don't have the app installed. Download and install it from the following link, and try again: Download 1Password 8 for Windows
2. Unlock with your usual credentials if prompted.
3. To the top left of the app, choose ⋮ > Settings, then click Security.

There you will find two settings under the Auto-lock heading:

• Lock 1Password when computer locks - here you can choose whether 1Password will lock when you lock Windows.
• Lock after the system is idle for - here you can specify the number of minutes of inactivity before 1Password will lock, from 1 minute - never.

I hope this helps, but if you have any further questions, let me know!
