1password locks within 10 seconds on High Performance or Dynamic resolution screen share on macOS
As the subject notes, I've noticed 1password locks itself within about 10 seconds regardless of what I've set the auto-lock setting to.
This makes copying and grabbing passwords, otp codes etc very difficult as I need to do it within 10 seconds of opening 1password.
This has been happening for quite some time (6+ months at least) when I run screen shares with a remote macOS host via the screen share app using High Performance or Dynamic Resolution.
The issue does not occur if I change from High Performance to standard in the macOS screen share app.
High Performance is useful as it adjusts the remote display to match the display I'm using on my local machine. Which makes needing to switch back to standard - not ideal.
The remote machine display does not scale nicely if in standard screen share type mode.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue?
- Remote Mac is running MacOS 15.6.1
- 1password ver. 8.11.6

Hi folks, I've registered to let you know that I'm experiencing exactly the same problem, using MacOS Tahoe 26.4 (25E246) to run high-performance screen-sharing to a Mac running 1Password for Mac 8.12.8 (81208026) on MacOS Sequoia 15.7.5 (24G624).
On my display, the difference between high-performance and standard screen-sharing is jarring.I have the same issue too. Save version. Same scenario.
I also have the same issue.
- macOS: 26.4 (25E246
- 1Password for Mac 8.12.8 (81208026)
Experiencing same thing with:
- 1Password 8.12.8
- macOS 26.4 (local and remote running same OS)
Seeingthe exact same issue.

Our development team has released improvements to how auto-lock works with certain configurations such as high-performance screen sharing on macOS. Please update to 1Password for Mac version 8.11.12 or later:
If you still see the same issue after updating then please let me know so that we can investigate further.-Dave
Hi 1P_Phil ,
Customer experience got back and noted that this is indeed a known issue, and is being investigated. No timeline on a fix though.The workaround is what I've been doing - which is switching to Standard Screen Share mode.
