Hi, this is what is happening;
* I will have been using my Mac, but not 1Password, therefore 1Password has locked and my external Time Machine drive has powered down.
* I visit a site that needs me to login so I click the 1Password icon in the login ID box.
* I use my finger on the reader to unlock 1Password
* At this point I hear the Time Machine drive power-up
* Only when the drive has powered up does 1Password offer me the website name to select to fill-in the login ID box

The Time Machine drive is used exclusively as a Time Machine. I executed the Terminal command and saw the same two paths.

I am curious why I would exclude 1Password from the Time Machine backup as I do not exclude any other apps.

Thank you for your help.
