1Password 8 keeps stealing focus on Mac

Thank you. [#RTX-37336-223]

The offer is always there and we'd like to help resolve the troubles, so if/when you're so inclined please let us know.

Thanks for the offer. I just ended up uninstalling the plugin from Safari and disabling the application and the issue stopped happening. I only launch 1Password when I actively need a password, it's simply too unpredictable to leave running all the time as a plugin or as a background app.

I also have this problem of 1Password stealing focus from the browser. I'm typing away and suddenly get an error sound and 1Password has opened in front of Chrome. It just happened while I was creating an account for this forum.

I've tried the fix given in this thread. Tried pretty much everything I can think of. The issue always returns. Is there anything I can do to resolve this once and for all?

Mac OS 12.6.1 and 1Password 8.10.0. This issue is maddening! I use Chrome and I can barely type two words without having my Mac beep at me because 1Password took over. It looks like it has been over a year since this problem popped up. How is this not fixed yet??

Still happening with Ventura 13.2.1 and 1Password for Mac 8.10.0 (81000055)

1P_Tommy : Done, thanks. We'll see if the problem recurs.

Hi. Second try (first post was somehow deleted?!).

I think it could be country related.

I'm from Germany and don't have the Command + \ as my main autofill shortcut. In first time it was set like this, but did not work, as we don't have a '\' at our keyboards.
So I selected CMD + #

But every browser does have different shortcuts and CMD + # sometimes doesn't work and sadly most of the time I have to click with my mouse the extension button to come to Touch ID unlock - Autofill Shortcut does not work.

Another point: How can I reset the shortcuts to default settings?

I think those focus stealing stuff is somehow correlated to the keyboard shortcuts in combination with different keyboard layouts within different countries.

With 1Password 7 I never had any issues - they all just appeared within 1PW8.

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.
