1password extension forcing the app to be in the foreground all the time
When the extension is enabled, and I'm in chrome, the application in the foreground is 1Password. It prevents me from typing in chrome. I can only type this because I disabled the extension.
If I try to quit 1Password, it just restarts immediately. It eventually quits if I hold Cmd-Q, but then as soon as I click around in the browser, or click the extension icon on the toolbar, it comes right back. This makes the extension completely unusable.
I have a screen recording if that would be helpful.
1Password Version: 8.10.38
Extension Version: 2.26.1
OS Version: Sonoma 14.5
Browser: Chrome

Can also mention - this is the same on all 3 macs I have access to.
Something I am not entirely sure is related or not - all 3 were just updated to 14.6 then 14.6.1 sonoma.

Seeing the same. The screen grab above from t3rminus shows exactly the same as I see here.
Also - quitting 1password via the menu or via right click on the icon on the dock - it simply restarts.
The only way out is to quit it from the task bar icon top right.
Tried it in chrome, arc, firefox and safari - same for all of them

I too am experiencing problems with 1 Password in both Chrome and Safari. When 1 Password is activated, I can no longer type any URLs in the search bars of either browser.

I'm glad that you're not longer seeing the issue. If you do run into further problems then please respond to the email that my colleague sent you and the team can investigate further.

Not sure if you did something on the server side or if just disabling the extension for a while did it, but it seems to have corrected itself.

I am having this exact same issue.
It's so broken, I'm considering leaving 1password for how many problems I've had with 1password in the past year. This is insane, and makes my computer basically impossible to use.(When 1Password steals focus, there is no pop-up, prompt, or other window. It's just stealing focus from the browser without displaying anything.)
