Microsoft Edge 1Password extension requires account password to be entered twice to become active

The Microsoft Edge extension for 1Password is installed on my PC. When I select the 1Password extension I am prompted enter my password which is successfully completed, however when successfully selecting a login ID for a site, the extension appears to be locked and requests re-entry of the account password for a second time.  This defect is frustrating and only appeared in the last few weeks.  What is required to overcome this issue?
