Hello @persona! 👋

I'm sorry for the confusion. You can choose how often 1Password locks by changing your auto-lock settings: How to set 1Password to lock automatically

If you turn off auto-lock then 1Password will stay unlocked unless a few specific conditions are triggered, such as restarting your Mac.

You can also choose how often your account password is required by following these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click Security.
  5. Change "Require Password" to the desired value.

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
