Extension no longer unlocking in browser with Desktop App Unlocked

Another Update: Couldn't wait till this evening to do the additional checks. During the testing, I realized that the "Save new items in" option doesn't appear till the extension is signed in/unlocked. Sorry for any confusion that may have added in my previous update. I completely removed Brave (verified no orphaned files/folders) and then re-installed. Added the 1Password Beta Extension and it still behaves the same way. As I mentioned earlier though, it only appears to be impacting Brave as it works in Chromium based Edge. It does work in Brave on my iMac still. I guess the only thing I haven't' done anything with is the Windows desktop application. I will wait to hear back before I go down that route of tinkering though. ;-)

Thank you for your help.
