Have to type master password twice each time I start

in 1Password 4 for Windows

Is there any way to avoid having to do this? When I use an extension in Firefox for the first time each day, I have to unlock it by entering the master password. Then if I try to open 1Password, it asks me for the master password again? Is that by design or have I failed to do something? Thanks

    @Raylock: There is! I'm glad you asked! :chuffed:

    What's happening is that the main 1Password app isn't actually running, so it can't unlock along with the extension. If you open the main 1Password app first (I just leave it minimized to the notification area), then it can unlock when you do it in Firefox. :sunglasses:

    I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

    Thanks for the suggestion! Though I personally hate it when apps launch on startup, it's certainly something we can consider in the future. But as you said, adding it to the Startup group does the trick in the mean time. Cheers! :)
