1Password for Safari not fully opening, usually
In Safari, when 1Password is locked, the 1Password icon at the top of each Safari window shows a lock icon, just as it should. I click on that 1Password icon in the Safari window. A pop-up appears, with a large blue button which says 'Open 1Password'. 80% of the time, this window sits there, unchanging, covering the upper left quadrant of the Safari window. 20% of the time, and a second window pops up, with the heading '1Password is trying to unlock the browser extension.' This second pop-up has a field labeled 'Enter your password'. Sometimes the cursor is active in that password field, and sometimes it isn't.
In the 80% of the time when only one pop-up window appears, clicking the 'Open 1Password' button will open the second pop-up, with the password field. After I type in my password, the pop-ups close. The icon at the top of the Safari window still shows the lock icon. It looks as though nothing has happened. But if I click on the 1Password icon at the top of the Safari window one additional time, a different pop-up will open, showing a field labeled 'Search 1Password', and perhaps showing me the password information for the webpage I am on. At that same moment, the lock icon will disappear from the 1Password icon in Safari.
I am hopeful that this isn't how 1Password for Safari is supposed to work. It was more reliable and took several fewer clicks, several months ago. Are other Safari users seeing this problem? I think the problems may have started with Safari 17.4. Is there a solution, to get more streamlined functionality from 1Password in Safari?
