ModeratorThank you for the reply. I'll respond below:
The Firefox app still seems to time out frequently.
Please try the following steps to see if they improve the situation:
- Close all open web browsers.
- Right-click on the 1Password icon at the top of your Mac's screen and then click Quit. Wait until the icon disappears.
- Double-click on 1Password from your Mac's Application folder.
- Open your web browser.
So, does this setting apply to ALL of my devices where 1Password is installed or is there a way to set the timeout for each device? I see no way to set this in the app on each device.
No, you'll have to change the auto-lock setting on each device separately. You can find steps for each of our apps in the article that I linked above, click on the tab to see instructions for the appropriate device: How to set 1Password to lock automatically
If set to "never", does it timeout when the Mac is put into sleep mode? I also assume one has to log into 1Password anytime the system is rebooted, right?
There's a separate option to have 1Password lock when the Mac sleeps:
I hope that helps! 🙂
