Question

1password keeps taking focus when I click a field

On multiple computers in both Edge and Chrome, 1Password is frequently stealing focus and prompting me to authenticate whenever I click on a field. Click to input search in a browser and 1password will open and steal focus so that what I was typing in my search is now doing nothing.

Hi ​@tsanguine, I’m sorry to hear that 1Password keeps taking focus and prompting for authentication whenever you click into any field, even just browser search.

I’d like to have our support team investigate this further. Could you email in to support@1password.com with a short screen recording or a series of screenshots showing what this looks like? Make sure to conceal any private information such as passwords, and don’t post this here on the public forums.

If the recording is too large to attach directly to an email, you can upload it to a new 1Password document item, and then securely share a link to that item in your email to us.

Be sure to include a link to this thread and your forum username in your email. You’ll receive a Support ID number. Please post that here so I can connect the dots. Thanks!
