Never used browser integration and lived with the annoying focus problem. Newest versions didnt fix the problem for me.

Hi Michael_Mercuri

Thank you for the update, I'm glad things are back on track.

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with!

Cheers,

I came here after searching for a solution to the same or similar issue.

In my case:

• macOS 13.6.3
• Safari version: 17.2.1
• 1Password app version: 8.10.24
• 1Password for Safari extension version: 2.20.0

Description of issue:

Whenever I lock or unlock 1Password app and Safari is running in the background (i.e., Safari is running and does not have focus) Safari automatically comes to the foreground and steals focus.

When unchecking "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app" in the extension settings, this issue continues to occur. If the 1Password Safari extension is disabled this does not occur.

Update:

After updating to the latest version of Safari (17.3.1) and the latest version of 1Password app (version 8.10.26), this appears to be fixed for me!!! 👏 👏 👏

Hopefully this can be fixed in a future update soon. If our developers request any other information from you end, we'll reach out. 🙂

Thanks for that. And have just tried updating 1Password to 8.10.23 (81023003) but still see the issue - using 1Password in Chrome brings Safari to the front.

I'm sorry that you're seeing the same issue, I've let our developers know that you're also affected.

Out of curiosity, I seem to have two 1Passwords in /Applications '1Password.app' and '1Password for Safari.app'. Are both needed or is '1Password for Safari.app' causing conflicts?

1Password is the desktop application while 1Password for Safari is our browser extension for Safari. It's normal to have both and I recommend that you continue to keep both installed on your Mac so that you have access to both the desktop app as well as filling and saving in Safari.

I too have had this issue for months. Safari seems to come to the fore when logging-in to 1Password from Chrome, or Safari just comes to the front for no reason (that I can tell).

Out of curiosity, I seem to have two 1Passwords in /Applications '1Password.app' and '1Password for Safari.app'. Are both needed or is '1Password for Safari.app' causing conflicts?

Hello, stanhbb, 1bvr, npdaaa, Kentzo, frankly. Thanks for writing in.

I've added you all as affected users to our internal reporting and I apologize for the inconvenience.

frankly, it sounds like you're encountering a separate issue as well with Universal Autofill. I recommend sending an email to mailto:support+forum@1Password.com so that our support team can help you.

Looking forward to hearing back!

I am also having this issue. The bigger problem I have with 1Password 8 is that its behavior is not deterministic at all. For example, if I use the keyboar shortcut to login to a website, nothing happens. If I execute the same keyboard command again immediately, it will fill the username and password fields in the browser and log me in. There are other example of non-deterministic behavior. This is maddening when using a computer program. If I can't depend on its behavior it makes the product a chore to use, when it used to be a pleasure 100% of the time.
