1password extension forcing the app to be in the foreground all the time
When the extension is enabled, and I'm in chrome, the application in the foreground is 1Password. It prevents me from typing in chrome. I can only type this because I disabled the extension.
If I try to quit 1Password, it just restarts immediately. It eventually quits if I hold Cmd-Q, but then as soon as I click around in the browser, or click the extension icon on the toolbar, it comes right back. This makes the extension completely unusable.
I have a screen recording if that would be helpful.
1Password Version: 8.10.38
Extension Version: 2.26.1
OS Version: Sonoma 14.5
Browser: Chrome

Hello everyone,
The team has released some fixes for issues where 1Password would get focused unexpectedly, can you update to 8.10.46:
If you still see the issue after updating to 8.10.46 then let me know and I can help further. 🙂

Thank you for following up. The team is currently testing fixes in the beta versions of 1Password for Mac and 1Password in the browser. As soon as testing is complete we hope to release the fix to the stable version as well. If you'd like to get your hands on the fix quicker you can switch to the beta:
I'm sorry for the impact to your workflow.

I'm glad that you were able to resolve the issue. Let me know if you run into any further issues with 1Password.
I was gonna add a screenshot, but it appears as though the rich text editor on this forum doesn't work with Firefox.
I'm sorry that you're unable to attach an image. I've tested this and I'm able to attach an image using Firefox, what happens when you try to attach an image using the following:
Are you able to attach an image in a Private window? Or in another browser?

It seems that finally getting authenticated with 1Password is what fixed it for me. Not entirely sure how I got to the point of getting a login prompt (to be honest, 1Password has gotten to a point to where I'm not entirely sure what it is doing most of the time).

Bad day to be a 1Password customer, I guess.

I'm sorry that you're seeing 1Password take focus from your browser. This is a known issue with the latest version of 1Password that our developers are currently working to resolve and involves the connection between the desktop app and 1Password in the browser. You should be able to workaround the issue by following these steps:
Option 1: Make sure that you're signed into the 1Password app and then reset app integration
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Make sure that you are signed into the app: How to add another 1Password account to the apps and browser extension
- Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- Toggle the "Connect with 1Password in the browser" setting.
Option 2: Turn off app integration if the first workaround doesn't work
- Open your browser.
- Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
- Click General.
- Turn off "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app".
Let me know if you still see the issue after following these steps.

Is there a fix being worked on for this? I'm resorting to having to use my Google Password Manager which makes me wonder why I need 1Password in the first place.

I experienced the same issue after an update to 14.6.1 Sonoma, with Arc 1.55.0 and 1Password 8.10.38. After repeatedly quitting 1Password from the dock (it kept restarting), I was able to click enough times in Arc to regain focus; disabling the 1P extension for a while and then re-enabling it seemed to prevent the issue re-ocurring.
