1Password barely works in the background anymore after upgrading to v8

After I close the main 1P window, global keyboard shortcuts (quick access, autofill etc) work for maybe an hour, but then stop. To get them to work, I have to manually launch 1P and unlock it again. This is very frustrating and is putting me off 1P since it's never there when I need it.

I suspect this is caused by having "Keep 1Password in the menubar" setting unchecked because I don't want to see anything, but I don't want to turn that on. I didn't have this problem in previous versions of 1P, it was just happy to chill in the background until I needed it.

    Hi @Kristaps,

    Apologies for the late reply, thanks for surfacing this. I suspect it's related to how 1Password behaves when it locks while not present on the menu bar or dock. Could I confirm what your unlock and auto-lock settings are? Do you see better results if you change these?

    Let me know and we'll investigate from there. 🙂
