Latest 1Password 8 for Mac builds require menu bar icon to stay running

Please note the groundswell of people complaining about this. It really is deeply annoying to those of us who like background tasks to retreat into the real, real background. I don't expect Word or Pages or Mail to retreat into the background. But I do expect bluetooth, Alfred, 1Password, and other essential utilities that are just part of what makes everything work to be able to disappear.

To those looking for a temporary workaround, my suggestion is to set "Keep 1Password in Menu Bar" on and then use a menu bar utility like Bartender to hide the menu bar item. I have 1Password set to start on login, and so I see it once, log into it, and then quit. This removes it from the Dock but keeps me from having to enter the 1Password master password anywhere at all (unless 2 weeks is up which is very reasonable). The "Keep 1Password in Menu Bar" is roughly the equivalent of the old Keep 1Password Mini running in background. All this works well for me; I just wish I didn't need to use Bartender to hide the menu bar item. I hate seeing that all the time since a keystroke will bring up the Quick Access panel at any time.
