1Password 8 keeps stealing focus on Mac

Ever since 1Password 8 came out of beta, every update causes the app to start randomly stealing focus. For example, if I'm working one window and then click into Chrome, 1Password will pop up on top....

The inability to install updates. I'll get you added to that tracking issue.

The stealing focus in my experience is a disconnection or blocking of communications. In most instances this can be helped by the following.

  1. Turn off - 1Password > Preferences (Settings) > Browser: Connect with 1Password in the browser
  2. Right-click on the browser toolbar icon, selecting Settings (General Tab) and then disable Integrate with 1Password app.
  3. Quit the browser completely! A full quit, not a close or minimize to the dock.
  4. Quit 1Password. While looking at the main window (locked or unlocked)
    • Press Command and Q 1Password should lock and close.
  5. Wait a few seconds and then open 1Password from the Dock or the Applications folder and unlock.
  6. Turn On - 1Password > Preferences (Settings) > Browser: Connect with 1Password in the browser
  7. Open your browser.
  8. Right-click on the browser toolbar icon, selecting Settings (General Tab) and then enable Integrate with 1Password app.
