Hello folks,
Our development team has released improvements to how auto-lock works with certain configurations such as high-performance screen sharing on macOS. Please update to 1Password for Mac version 8.11.12 or later:
If you still see the same issue after updating then please let me know so that we can investigate further.-Dave

Are you accessing 1Password on a remote device using screen sharing? Your descriptions doesn't completely fit the issue I have in mind, but I thought I should check.
Can you also try the following?
During an update, the communication between the browser extensions and the app is severed by macOS. The following steps will restart that connection.
- Look for our helper in the menu bar near the WiFi indicator and the clock. Right-click (Option-click) on the helper and select quit 1Password completely.
- Quit your browser.
- Wait a few seconds and then open 1Password from the Dock or the Applications folder and unlock
- Open your browser.
