Mac timing out

I have a separate issue to ask about... I've noticed, that on my desktop Mac, 0S 14.5, even though I have my "Lock after system is idle for" timer set for 5 minutes, when I return to 1Password after more than 5 minutes have passed of not having used it, it is not locked. I am launching it on an extension in Firefox. Maybe there's something about the setting I'm not understanding? Or another setting I need to activate? Thanks.

    Thanks for your response, Dave. I'll do some testing on my phone and computer, so I can give you an accurate of what is happening, and where, e.g., which device, browser, app, setting. I may be confusing locking vs.  timing out?

    For now, I'll tell you that for my computer, I'm using both Chrome and Firefox with a 1Password extension, and on my phone, I'm using the app. I almost never login to the site directly. 

    Thanks again!

  • Hello 1Al​! πŸ‘‹

    I'm sorry that 1Password is locking sooner than expected on your Mac, I've split the Mac posts into a new thread. 

    So that I can better understand the situation can you tell me the following: 

    1. Do you have the desktop app installed? 
    2. What is locking when you encounter the issue? The browser extension? The web app at 1Password.com? The desktop app? Or all three? 

    In a separate issue, I'm wondering if 1Password has been integrated with Duckduckgo? I'm not seeing a way to add an extension. Thanks, as always!

    As far as I'm aware, DuckDuckGo browser doesn't support browser extensions on the Mac. However you may be able to fill your login credentials using Universal Autofill instead: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac

    I'm still having a problem with 1Password not locking or timing out, despite my settings being for 5 minutes.

    In a separate issue, I'm wondering if 1Password has been integrated with Duckduckgo? I'm not seeing a way to add an extension. Thanks, as always!
