1Password 8 keeps stealing focus on Mac

Ever since 1Password 8 came out of beta, every update causes the app to start randomly stealing focus. For example, if I'm working one window and then click into Chrome, 1Password will pop up on top....

Hi folks,

Thanks for letting us know. We've had some other folks report a similar issue, and they were able to resolve the it with these steps:

  1. Quit all open web browsers.
  2. Right-click 1Password mini in the menu bar, then Quit. (If you see "Quit 1Password Completely", that's 1Password 7.)
  3. Drag 1Password from the Applications folder to the Trash. Do not use an "app cleaner" or "uninstaller" tool to remove the app or additional files. If prompted, enter the password you use to sign in to your Mac.
  4. Restart your Mac.
  5. Download the installer for 1Password 8 beta from the 1Password website. https://downloads.1password.com/mac/1PasswordBeta.zip
  6. Quit any open web browsers and then install 1Password.
  7. Open and unlock 1Password before opening your web browser.

If, after those steps, you're still bumping into the issue, let us know.

Alex
