3 years agoPrevent 1password 8 from locking on Mac and Safari
I have v8 and have set preferences to never lock, but it still locks sometimes. Also locks in the Safari extension. Is there another setting? My Mac stays on 24/7, and never sleeps. Only screen saver.
1Password Version: 8.9.8
Extension Version: 2.4.1
OS Version: 10.15.7
Browser:_ Safari

- Note any patterns or activities that you were doing right before 1Password locked.

I've not noticed a pattern - I'll pay closer attention. The General Preferences are set as you suggested.

Hello @akirson46! 👋
I'm sorry that 1Password 8 is locking more often than you expect it to. Are there any patterns that you notice when 1Password locks? For example, does 1Password 8 lock after closing the main window? After closing the browser?
Can you also tell me if the following option is enabled:
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
- Click on Preferences.
- Click on General.
- Make sure that "Keep 1Password in the menubar" is enabled.
I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
-Dave
