After switching to 1PWD 7 for Mac I see sometimes that it opens the Mac app and then it allows the browser extension to work. Is this intended? See screencast: http://cloud.paulcsiki.com/1g2y1h1o2z2e.


1Password Version: 7.0.BETA-10 (70000010)
Extension Version: 4.7.0.90
OS Version: 10.13.4
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Yes, If you've completely quit 1Password, such as it appears was done in the video then it will definitely need to launch the main app in order for you to use the Chrome extension. The main app is now the process that houses the database, as opposed to the mini process in version 6. If you simply close the main window instead of quitting the application you should have a much better experience in Chrome.

    Hi Rudy,

    That explains why the 1PWD app starts at system startup and then hides itself. Honestly I would have preferred it to be in the tray app (1PWD mini). Is there a particular reason why this was changed?
