in 1Password in the Browser

I open 1Password on my MacBook Pro with my Master Password. OFTEN (not always)... when I double click on a Login within 1PW, and the site opens in Chrome... I have to do the "Shift-Command-X" sequence and RE-ENTER my Master Password a second time. Same thing happens if I go to a bookmark in Chrome and click on it... EVERY time I have to do the "Shift-Command-X" sequence and RE-ENTER my Master Password a second time. It seems to me that if I have opened 1PW with my Master Password.... I should not have to re-enter it a second time nearly all the time. How can I fix this? BTW, I have Apple Watch and iPhone as well. Thank you.

1Password Version: 7.7.1.BETA-7
Extension Version: 4.7.5.90
OS Version: macOS Catalina v10.15.7
Sync Type: iCloud
Referrer: forum-search:master password

    Hey @clausenm ,

    You are expecting 1Password Classic's behavior, but have installed 1Password in the browser instead.

    While we do recommend 1Password in the browser over the old Classic extension, here are the pros and cons of each so you can make an educated decision on which one you'd like:

    • 1Password in the browser provides a new and improved autofilling experience by showing up automatically inside usernames/password fields when you visit a login page, making it super easy to autofill or save new logins.
    • 1Password in the browser is a standalone version that does not connect to the 1Password desktop app (yet! we're working on it :) ) but instead works directly with your 1Password.com account's vaults, so your workflow can start and end in the browser without having to open the desktop app at all! Simply open the browser first and start using 1Password there.
    • It has its own keyboard shortcut - CMD+SHIFT+X, or you can simply click the little 1Password icon on the top right corner of your browser to unlock it once, then it will show up wherever you need it on its own. No need for CMD+\ anymore.
    • 1Password Classic does connect to the desktop app and works with CMD+\ , but does not show up on its own inside fields and suggests autofilling or other proper actions.

    I hope that clarifies the situation :)
