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

Chiming in here – this is a super annoying behavior that basically makes the 1pass browser extension useless. In the moment when I realize that 1p has locked itself out I am in the process of filling out a password field. This is usually during the workday and I'm already at risk of my concentration breaking because of the authentication disruption. having to restart my browser (in the middle of a login process, LOL that's going to play nicely with session management) is disruptive, having to break and type in the sentence-long passphrase (even when the main 1PW app is sitting unlocked on my desktop!) is disruptive. I have 3 different work-related chrome profiles (consultant; client; client) plus 2 personal ones (important stuff, social media / news) that I use, and having to go through this on each is really tedious.

I don't understand exactly what security issue this is supposed to prevent or solve but the net behavior is incredibly annoying. I rarely have to type in my password for the desktop app given touchID on my mac and FaceID on my iphone. As others have pointed out, Chrome seems to update at least once a week these days, and 1password freaks out even before Chrome starts nagging me.
