Hello ethanlee16! 👋

Thanks for reaching out, I'm sorry that 1Password is closing unexpectedly. It's only expected behaviour that 1Password will close in the background when you close the main window if you have the menu bar icon turned off. To keep 1Password open in the background make sure that the menu bar icon is turned on:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password.
  2. Tap the icon for your account or collection at the top left and choose Settings. (If you’re using an iPad, tap your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.)
  3. Click General.
  4. Make sure that "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" is turned on.

If the option is already on and you're still seeing 1Password completely close when you close the main window then let me know. 🙂
