1Password 8 keeps stealing focus on Mac

I'm on 1Password for Mac 8.10.7 (81007041) Production Channel and randomly waking up today to having this issue. I think the only thing different today vs yesterday is that I restarted my computer and started fresh today.

I'm gonna review the troubleshooting tips others have mentioned above, but thought I'd just put it out there to say I've got the problem.

Hey @jmesterh, we really appreciate the insight and details. We'll keep that in mind when we come across this issue with other users once again.

Ticket: [#YTQ-49312-661]

This has happened to me in the past, and it started again today. I think the cause (in my case) is from a failed application update. If I open 1Password there is the notification "1Password will update when you restart the app", with two buttons "Later" and "Restart Now". Clicking "Restart Now" does nothing and in Console.app for 1Password process I get the following error:

Non-fatal error enumerating at , continuing: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “Extensions” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSURL=Extensions/ -- file:///Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Group%20Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application%20Support/1Password/Update/Downloads/1Password-8.10.7-aarch64/1Password.app/Contents/, NSFilePath=/Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/Update/Downloads/1Password-8.10.7-aarch64/1Password.app/Contents/Extensions, NSUnderlyingError=0x11f822760 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}

and some application entitlement errors complaining about

invalid application signature or incorrect provisioning profile

Restarting 1Password doesn't help.

To resolve:
1. Close 1Password
2. Open the "Activity Monitor" app and kill the "1Password Launcher" process
3. Open 1Password, this time (hopefully) the update notification will be replaced with a "Check for updates" button
4. Click "Check for Updates" and the button changes to "Restart Now"
5. Click "Restart Now"

1Password should actually close, update & restart, and stop stealing focus every time it tries to auto-update.

Thanks for the update @carter3d, I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you.

The issue has stopped occurring for me. Not sure why - maybe an update to 1P, Chrome, or something else, but I don't see it any more.

Hey @carter3d, @fanglord,

If you are still running into this can you please send over the details as requested by David here so we can help to get things working as they should be.

Thank you!

I see the same problem.

I would love to help fix this problem. It's very very very annoying, and it's affecting my productivity.

Also happening here, and it's driving me bonkers. I also do not seem to be able to quit the 1Password application, either -- if I quit (via Cmd-Q, or by choosing "Quit" from the menu bar), the titlebar momentarily switches to the next app in the stack before flashing back to 1Password (although the main window doesn't open).

This is also happening in Chrome, I've just noticed.

Installed the Apple Rapid Security Response Update (Ventura 13.3.1 (a)) and now 1Password misbehaving. Using Chrome (Version 113.0.5672.63 (Official Build) (arm64)) and 1P extension (2.10.0), I can't just click on the 1P icon in a form, enter my master pw, and then have 1P enter credentials. I have to click on extension icon in Chrome and enter creds there AND open the main 1P app and enter creds there too. And after doing this, 1P steals the focus for just about any app I try to use (Outlook, Chrome, Slack, etc.). When I click on other apps work in them, the menu bar briefly changes to that app and then immediately reverts back to 1Password. Only resolution is completely closing 1P, and even that is behaving differently - doesn't want to close.
I saw another post where someone is reporting something similar, but their post is focused on Safari. I don't believe I had a 1P update, but did just install the Rapid Security Response update from Apple. Seemed to work great before that.
