Safari stealing focus

Hi! Something strange is happening since a while. Safari has begun frequently stealing focus. After some investigation it seems that it's tied to the 1Password extension (I don't have any proof yet, but when disabling it the issue is not present). It seems to happen when a website perform an auto refresh. If I'm on another virtual desktop, it scrolls to the one containing Safari, bringing it to front. You can imagine how disturbing it is. I don't have any other extension loaded in Safari.

Am I the only one?

Thanks!


1Password Version: 8.9.10
Extension Version: 2.4.1
OS Version: macOS 13.0.1
Browser:_ Safari

Thanks for that. And have just tried updating 1Password to 8.10.23 (81023003) but still see the issue - using 1Password in Chrome brings Safari to the front.

Cheers,

I came here after searching for a solution to the same or similar issue.

In my case:

  • macOS 13.6.3
  • Safari version: 17.2.1
  • 1Password app version: 8.10.24
  • 1Password for Safari extension version: 2.20.0

Description of issue:

Whenever I lock or unlock 1Password app and Safari is running in the background (i.e., Safari is running and does not have focus) Safari automatically comes to the foreground and steals focus.

When unchecking "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app" in the extension settings, this issue continues to occur. If the 1Password Safari extension is disabled this does not occur.

Update:

After updating to the latest version of Safari (17.3.1) and the latest version of 1Password app (version 8.10.26), this appears to be fixed for me!!! 👏 👏 👏

Never used browser integration and lived with the annoying focus problem. Newest versions didnt fix the problem for me.
