1Password 8.10.44 Not Starting and Showing in the Menu Bar At Machine Startup/Login [Known Issue]
Title says it all.
On MacOS 14.6.1 and 1Password 8.10.44.
Menu bar issues have been common with recent 1Password updates. As a l long term user (10 years) I remember when 1Password just worked...

I have app installed, but not browser extension. When I hit the first page that needs a password and press CMD+\, I'm expecting the 1Password unlock dialog, but nothing happens. I have to open the 1Password app to log in.
I've found that as long as 1Password is running in the menu bar, it works. (I can close main app, lock 1Password via the menu bar, then when I use CMD+\ at a login prompt, I do get the 1Password unlock dialog. But if I quit the menu bar, I won't.)
So, it looks like the problem is that 1Password is not starting automatically on my system. The icon appears in the menu bar only after the first time that I manually launch 1Password. (It will continue running when I quit the 1Password main app.)
In 1Password Settings > General I have checked both "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" and "Start at login." Is there anything else I need to do?
I can manually add this to my Login items to see if that solves it, though I don't think that is how most apps start automatically.
I suppose it's also possible that if I installed Safari extension, it would either launch the menubar app or handle this unlock problem in some other way. But I choose to not use the extension.
It's worth pointing out that I am running Monterey.
Thanks.
