Re: Windows Hello opens in background and doesn't function correctly

1Password has always, when prompted to unlock, has brought the Windows Hello authentication window to the app location and brought it into focus.  Now this behaviour is broken and it often remains below other open windows, not focussed, and on the default screen location, not the screen it was initiated from.  This is with the browser plugins for Brave and Firefox, both the most recent versions. The desktop app continues to work correctly however.  

Is this a known issue, or has something changed? Two different browsers, two different platforms... so it isn't the browser(s).

    Hi alcyone7​,

    Same here for me with Edge.

    It used to happen very infrequently in the past but now, as you stated, it seems to be the standard behavior.

    I think, maybe, only for my first unlock it appears in the foreground but thereafter, I always have to look at and use the taskbar to bring it to the foreground.  The bottom line is that for me, the situation has reversed and the window now very infrequently appears in the foreground and in focus.
