Brave Plugin asking for Authentication

Is anyone else having the strange issue where when using Brave on Windows 11 and the 1password plugin? If 1password is locked, unlocking creates a popup saying Authentication Required, and a new browser tab opens prompting for email, secret key and password. These can all be ignored and I am signed in by just entering the password in the normal unlock popup screen. This only started a few days back.

Is it just me experiencing this? It is now also happening in Firefox.

I'm sorry that you're seeing an unexpected prompt when unlocking 1Password in the browser. So that I can help get this resolved, I'd like to ask you to create and share a 1Password diagnostics report from 1Password in your browser:

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support@1password.com
