Why is 1Password opening in the background when I manually launch it?

When I click on 1Password in the dock, it opens behind the active window. That is annoying because I am waiting for it to show and then have to dig for it. 1Password Version: 8.9.4 Extension...

Hello @duckydan! 👋

I'm sorry to hear that 1Password is opening behind the active window on your Mac. I can't reproduce the issue here on my end and I'd like to gather a little more information:

  1. Are you using macOS Spaces at all to create multiple desktops?
  2. Do you have Touch ID or Apple Watch unlock enabled for 1Password?
  3. By "that thing where it's always running" do you mean that you've disabled "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" in 1Password's preferences?
  4. Does the same thing occur when you open 1Password using Spotlight rather than clicking on the icon in the Dock?

I look forward to hearing from you. 😊
