why is 1Password Safari extension not working?

I found that locking the safari extension then unlocking it makes it work again. I am using 1Password 8.

————my thoughts ———
Agile bits must have sold this to some other company because version 8 feels like a startup that's in beta. this forum is flooded with so many bugs and there's even a note to 1Password employees when logging into this community to file support ticket internally if they have issues. appears to be growing pains for agile bits or whoever owns 1Password nowadays.
