1Password stealing focus from Chrome
Hi all,
For a few days now, I've been having issues with 1Password and Chrome on Mac. When browsing, the 1Password desktop app randomly activates and steals focus from the browser, causing me to stop writing in text boxes, having to click once more for links etc. If I happen to have the 1Password main window open in the background, it pops up to the top.
Also the Chrome plugin has been really slow, loads for 10 seconds on menu bar icon click and requires me to enter my password far too often.
Is this an issue with 1Password, Chrome or macOS?
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.0 (81000055)
Extension Version: 2.7.0
OS Version: macOS Ventura 13.2.1
Browser:_ Chrome

Can you please restart your Mac and then wait and see if the issue occurs again. If it does then I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

Unfortunately I'm still seeing this happen on my end. I'm on 1Password for Mac 8.10.1 (81001033) using the Arc browser (Chromium based, runs Chrome extensions). Like Aleksi, the 1Password app will pop up every 10-20 seconds or so and steal focus away from the browser window. It seems to be a recent thing. It also happens when 1Password is running as a menubar item and the 1P window is closed. In this case the 1P window pops up on top of the browser window and steals focus (not the browser extension's window).
Hi 1P_Dave !
Thanks for the quick response! Fortunately, the app had a pending update to 8.10.1, which seems to have fixed the issue.
If the behaviour reappears, I know what to do, but for now this issue is resolved for me.

Hello aleksikallio! 👋
I'm sorry to hear that the 1Password app is stealing focus on your Mac and that 1Password in the browser isn't working properly. Our developers are investigating a couple of issues that sound similar to what you're describing, so that I can look into this further I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:
