Safari stealing focus

Hey @steve28,

It would be useful if we could take a look at your particular set up to see if we can get to the bottom of things as it may not be the same scenario.

Could you please also send over some logs:

• Save a console log for 1Password in your browser
• How to send a 1Password diagnostics report

Please attach the reports to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com with a link to this thread. Thank you!

I'm having this exact issue as well. Latest Safari on latest macOS, the Safari window will randomly pop up / steal focus, only when the 1P 8 extension is enabled.

Hey @stellar292, I'm sorry for the trouble.

Can you send the same details as requested above to support+forum@1password.com with a link to this thread where our team will be able to further assist.

Thank you!

I'm having this issue, or at least one very similar.

My primary browser is Edge on macOS. I also use Safari.

Sometimes when I unlock 1Password on Edge, the 1Password extension in Safari will steal focus.

In other words, I'm on Desktop 1, unlock 1Password, and immediately (and unexpectedly) my screen switches over to Desktop 2 (virtual desktop on same monitor) where I have Safari open. I then have to flip back to Desktop 1.

Sometimes after a reboot/relaunch of all browsers/1Password it clears-up. But it's very annoying.

Hi @unpassword,

Thanks for reaching out!

When you mention that it's switching from Desktop 1 to Desktop 2, are you referring to having set up different "virtual" desktops using Mission Control? If you're using Edge and Safari on the same desktop, do you still experience the same behaviour? Additionally, is this only present when locking or unlocking the 1Password desktop app?

Yes, separate “virtual” desktops in Mission Control. If they’re in the same desktop, I’m fairly certain it happens as well. It’s just less shocking. I believe it also happens on my MacBook Pro, so it’s not just the desktop (Mac mini m1).

Tried something. 1Password locked and I need to login to a site.

Quit and relaunched Safari in Desktop 2.

Went back to Desktop 1, unlocked 1Password in Edge (has been open for days) and it didn't do the switcheroo.

So we at least know that quitting and relaunching Safari has an effect.

It's happening again - and this time Safari was in the same "virtual" desktop and the unlocking stole focus. I noticed it because after unlocking I use arrow keys/enter to select login and nothing happens (because my cursor jumped to Safari).

Hi @unpassword,

Thanks for providing those details.

We can disable the integration feature within 1Password for Safari to stop the focus stealing behavior. Here are the steps:

1. Open Safari and right-click(ctrl + click) on the 1Password icon in the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
3. In the General section, turn the Integrate with 1Password app to OFF, as shown below:
4. 

However, that means we will need to unlock 1Password for Safari separately. Can you test to see if that helps?

I have this same issue, but Safari is my default browser. Anytime I unlock 1password, it will bring focus to any Safari window that is open. Disabling integration with Safari would not be ideal as it is my default browser. Is there any other way to prevent this behavior? It happens on multiple Macs for me.
