Hello manabin! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! You'll need to make sure that the menu bar icon is turned on so that 1Password for Mac can run in the background. Follow these steps: 

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Make sure that "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" is turned on. 


If that doesn't fix the issue, or if the menu bar icon was already turned on, then let me know.
