How can I figure out what's activating 1password app on macOS?

    I was able to find what's causing this, it's not a problem of the 1password browser extension. In my case it was Jetbrains IDE default git setting to fetch changes from remote, this is because I use 1password SSH agent, I was able to disable it from "Settings > Version Control > Git > Explicitly check for incoming commits on remote", setting to Never.

I have this as well, and it's driving me quietly insane. Every little while it'll prompt me, or after my screen is turned back on, and I'm not doing anything that would require access to my passwords. I've removed the extension from Raycast, because I thought it might be that, but didn't solve anything. 

I've attached a photo of the unlock prompt.
