Hello @camtech! 👋

Thank you for reporting the issue. I can confirm that our developers are aware of this behaviour and we're discussing internally how we can improve how 1Password stays open in the background in the future.

I've passed along your comments to our developers to further the internal conversation. I'm sorry for the confusion.
