1Password X Login Makes No Sense
Hey 1Password - Why do you tell me to press Ctrl+Shift+X to login to 1Password all the time? Why not just take me to the login screen if you need me to log in. So frustrating to have to deal with a superfluous prompt like that.
1Password Version: 7.2.576
Extension Version: 1Password X current
OS Version: Win 10 1803
Sync Type: Not Provided

@djMot: Thanks for getting in touch! It's a great question. The answer, of course, is security. I'll explain: Since 1Password X runs entirely in the browser, it would be trivial for a malicious website to spoof the 1Password X lock screen to trick you into giving them your Master Password. So in order to actually unlock 1Password X, you need to open it outside of the webview, from the browser's toolbar, which cannot be spoofed by a web page. I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
