Locking settings for mac app

Welcome to the forum, @yevhen! Excellent question. 1Password is a security (and privacy) app. As such, although we like to offer our users a substantial amount of customizability and flexibility so they can set 1Password to their liking, there are a few assumptions that we operate on as a baseline. One of them is to not give people enough rope to hang themselves, to put it bluntly. An encrypted password manager that was able to be set to never encrypt the data would be significantly insecure. In fact, it would be little more than a purpose-built database. Things like our organizational capabilities, auto-filling and auto-submit and others are certainly helpful, even critical workflow tools. But the heart of 1Password is always security, and an encryption-based app that never actually encrypts its data just isn't secure. Thanks for taking the time to ask the question, and for being a 1Password user! :)

If you’re sitting at the computer the whole time then there is no real difference I suppose. The purpose of auto-locking is to prevent someone else from accessing your data while you’re away from your device.
