ModeratorHello @gdmint! 👋
Thanks for the suggestion! Can you tell me a little more about the specific threat that you're trying to protect against?
Why not lock your Mac whenever you step away from it? If 1Password is locked, but your Mac is not, then someone can just walk by when you're not at your desk and install a keylogger to grab your account password the next time that you unlock 1Password. I've personally set a hot corner so that I only need to move my mouse to the left-hand corner of my Mac to lock it before I step away: Use hot corners on Mac - Apple Support (CA)
Note that the existing activity timeout setting is broken for me. If the timeout were based on 1Password app activity, then 1Password would be able to implement this reliably.
I'm not seeing an issue myself with auto-lock. Would you be able to post a list of steps that I could follow in order to reproduce the same issue on my end? I'd be happy to file an issue on your behalf to have our development team take a look.
I look forward to hearing from you.
