Constantly unlocking 1password in browser
Just wondering if this is "how it's supposed to work" ... start using my computer in the morning ... often use ⌘-\ to login ... this prompts me to unlock 1password (either with touch ID or passphrase) ... cool, so, 1Password app appears to be unlocked now (I can launch 1Password and it doesn't re-prompt). My impression was that this should unlock 1Password in the browser, too ... sure, I can use ⌘-\ to auto-fill, but the icons in the browser, both in the toolbar and the mini-icons in the login inputs, show locked ...
So, I click the toolbar icon in Safari (I'm using the Tech Preview) and I get prompted to unlock ... with the passphrase, only. Bummer, ok. I switch profiles from Work -> Personal and ... I have to do it again. I pop over to Chrome and ... I have to do it again.
I haven't measured it, but this happens multiple times a day and it's always making me unlock in the browser, separately from the 1Password app, which remains unlocks or prompts TouchID, and always with the passphrase.
So, just wondering ... is this working "as designed"?

Thank you! I've done as requested. When I was in the Safari extension settings, I did see this:
which does seem to indicate what you're saying ... but, I have no idea how to fix this problem.
