1PW and 4 helpers running in background

Hello @TripleHjr! 👋

Thanks for the question! macOS will automatically distribute system resources as needed to the various apps installed on your Mac. The processes that you're seeing are part of the 1Password desktop app and browser extension and they perform various tasks including keeping the 1Password service running in the background (so that you can use features like Quick Access and Universal Autofill even if the main window is closed) and maintaining communication between 1Password for Mac and 1Password in the browser (so that the app and browser extension share the same lock state and so that you can use Touch ID and Apple Watch unlock with the extension).

Are you seeing high CPU usage by one or more of these processes? Or are you seeing any other performance issues?

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
