Hello ErnieS! 👋

By "inactivity" do you mean that you'd like to set how quickly 1Password locks after the Mac is idle? If the answer is yes then follow these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click on Settings.
  4. Click on Security.
  5. Change the "Lock after the computer is idle for" setting as desired.
