There is no "Advanced" in settings on my PC. How do I prevent aggressive autolock?

This 1password SILENTLY autolocks aggressively without indication on its own user interface. It makes no sense on my personal PC locking in at my home. There is "Advanced" in Settings section in ...

Hi @AlexeyPanchekha! I'm sorry to hear that 1Password is locking more often than you would like. As mentioned by JohnInCA (thanks for the assist here!), when using the 1Password 8 desktop app alongside the browser extension, you can adjust your auto-lock settings in the desktop app, and it will apply to both:

  1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard, and click 1Password near the top.
  2. Unlock with your usual credentials if prompted.
  3. In the top left, next to the word 1Password, click â‹® > Settings > Security.
  4. Adjust the options under the Auto-lock heading to meet your needs.

If you're just using the extension by itself, you can instead locate the auto-lock settings by right-clicking the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and going to Settings > Security.

Hopefully this helps, but if you're still having trouble, let me know 😄
