1Password chrome extension keeps getting locked because an update is available

This is very annoying and I think part of the ultimate solution here is the same thing that will help on other platforms: Make the browser extension fully capable on its own.
The annoyance of 1Password locking at every turn is something that happens:
* When Chrome is ready to update
* When using a browser that 1Password doesn't know about like Ghost
* When using a platform that doesn't have a native app, like Chromebooks (ChromeOS)
* When using iOS, though fortunately Touch/Face ID reliably unlocks 1Password
In all of these cases, we could lower the annoyance-factor to zero if the 1Password browser extension was fully capable on its own, able to set the same Security preferences as the Mac app.
