1Password 8 keeps stealing focus on Mac

I've been using 1Password 8 for a while, but it has only started doing this for me since a couple of weeks ago.

• OS: macOS 12.6.3
• 1Password: 8.7.0 80700098
• Browser: Safari 16.3 (17614.4.6.11.4, 17614)
• Browser extension: 1Password for Safari 2.7.0 (20238)

UPDATE: Updated to 1Password 8.9.15, and it has stopped happening.

As an aside, while on 8.7.0, the "check update" thing in 1Password said there were no updates. I just went to the website and downloaded an installer.

For me it does still happen with 8.9.15 - not that often - but it does happen.

@1P_Tommy is there any way to unsubscribe to a thread I created? I haven't had this issue since I reinstalled with the non-beta version months ago.

The best I can think of is altering your settings in your community profile. You might want to leave the others enabled or you might miss something you want to be informed of.

Email is the first box and pop up is the 2nd in my screenshot.

For what it's worth I was on 8.9.15 and seeing this very frequently (on Mac OS 12.6.2). I just got the 8.10.0 update and at least in the first few minutes, it seems to not be happening. If it comes back, I'll update here and send a new diag report to the support email as requested upthread.

On a related note @1P_Tommy, what are the default "Show 1Password" and "Show Quick Access" shortcuts? I unset those thinking the shortcuts might have been the culprits. Thanks!

The default keyboard shortcuts are:

I just updated my MacOS to Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68) and this problem has suddenly appeared. Reinstalling/rebooting has had no effect. Super annoying!

I believe I have this problem on 8.9.11 under Ventura 13.1. The app steals focus every few minutes; at these times a gear icon appears in the menu bar, then the 1Password icon disappears temporarily from the menu bar, and then the 1Password menu briefly appears before focus is returned. It appears to be an Automator workflow, though perhaps 1Password uses the gear icon for its own purposes unrelated to Automator.

But I cannot update 1Password. The Updates dialog tells me that version 8.10.0 is available. When I click the Update button, I see "Downloading update", and when complete it tells me that 1Password will update the next time I restart the app. However, when the app comes back up, I find it is still version 8.9.11.

Is your user folder on a Volume apart from the OS? If so, this is a known issue the team is working with. At this time the only known workaround is to download the full installer and run it manually. Please let me know and I'll get your report added to the affected user list if needed.
