Browser extension not checking for stale cache before writing updates?
I was in the midst of signing up to a new site. I had entered the account name and temporary password they assigned me, and saved those in 1Password using the "save in 1Password" option the browser extension offered. Then on the next page the site made me choose security question answers.
In the 1Password desktop application I opened the site entry and started editing it to add the security questions and answers. I finished adding them but did not immediately save since I didn't know if there would be other stuff during account setup that I'd want to add.
On the next page the site told me the temporary password had expired and wanted me to pick a new password. 1Password in the browser helpfully offered a great suggestion. I knew that if I accepted 1Password would offer to update the saved information, so before accepting I went to the desktop 1Password and saved my edits.
I accepted the suggested password in the browser, 1Password there offered to update the saved site info, and I accepted.
Result: the updated password was in the saved site info as expected, but the security questions/answers were gone.
It appears that the browser extension loaded the saved site info while I was editing, and when I saved the edits that did not invalidate the now stale copy the browser extension had cached.
