Mac Authentication dialog after password entry

Whenever I enter my password into 1Password Mac (8.11.22) running on MacOS 15.7.2, 1Password unlocks as expected.

Since a few days, now an additional MacOS System Dialog shows up immediately after every password entry into 1Password, saying something like:
1Password needs to conduct authentication to continue. Enter the password for user "<username>" to permit this.
(I translated this from my local language, apologies if the wording is not 100% precise).

The dialog then expects entry of my MacOS user password. Regardless if I enter the password or cancel the password prompt, the dialog box disappears and nothing else happens.

How can I get rid of this annoying additional system password prompt?

I'm having the exact same issue (on macOS 15.7.1). Every time I unlock the 1Password browser extension in Safari, I have to reauthenticate the app. Clearly a bug. See attached.

This is happening on my system as well, but only one of them. Mac Mini M2 Pro, running Tahoe 26.2. 1Password version: 1Password for Mac 8.12.0 (81200013). Has anyone found a fix for this?
