On Firefox for Mac, have to click on the toolbar every time to unlock 1Password
Hi,
This is an old problem which, it seems, has still not been resolved. On Mac, with Firefox, you must activate "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" so that the 1Password button in the password field activates the touch-ID connection popup. If this "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" option is not activated, the 1Password application seems to close completely by closing the app window and breaks the connection between the extension and the main app. I have tried numerous times to uncheck the integration option in the extension settings, exit everything and reopen but without success.
It would be nice not to have to keep the 1Password logo in the menu bar permanently
The problem refers to an old discussion: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/673340
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.34 (81034040)
Extension Version: 2.25.1
OS Version: 14.4.1 (23E224)
Browser: Firefox 127.0.2 (64 bits)

Thanks for reaching out. The menu bar icon stays visible so that you have a visual indicator that 1Password is still open and unlocked in the background even if the main window is closed. Without the menu bar icon 1Password could be open in the background, with your items available to anyone who uses your computer, without you knowing.
If you would like to hide some icons from your menu bar then I know that there are third-party apps out there that allow you to do so. That might provide a solution for the limited space in the menu bar on your Macbook.

Nowadays, the real estate of the menu bar is quite limited due to MB[P/A]'s notch. As far as I can see, in Safari, the icon in the text field works w/o the 1Password icon in the menu bar. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

No, not to my knowledge. It has been this way as long as I have used a Mac. We have a feature request open to explore this type of ability. I'm not a developer and I can't comment on the logistics. However, I can add your voice to that request.
