I'm on Arch Linux and have installed both the desktop and CLI via AUR. I have both Unlock using system authentication service and Biometric unlock for 1Password CLI enabled. The 1Password app is running
However, when running any op command I'm faced with the following error:


op --debug run -- ls -l
9:35PM | DEBUG | NM request: NmRequestAccounts
[ERROR] 2022/10/13 21:35:01 error initializing client: connecting to desktop app: read: connection reset, make sure the CLI is correctly installed and CLI Biometric Unlock is enabled in the 1Password app

App version: 8.9.4
CLI version: 2.7.1


1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Browser:_ Not Provided
