1 Password unlock via Browser extension
Hello,
when I unlock the 1P Desktop Application the Browser extension will also be unlocked and have access to the vault.
In the other direction it does not work. If I unlock my vault via Browser Extension and want to switch to the main Desktop Application I need to enter my master password again (but the lock symbol in the windows taskbar looks open).
Is this a bug?
Regards
Finke

Hi @Finke,
It is not a bug, it is due to the limitation of sharing the information between two programs, 1Password and 1Password Helper for your browser extensions. When you unlock the program with your master password, we sync it to other program to also unlock it but only if it is running as well. If not, we remove the information from the memory and cannot unlock it later when the other program opens up.
The icon you see in the notification is for the 1Password Helper only and it works with your browser extensions.
This is something we'd like to improve in the future.
