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?

1Password for Windows 8.10.62 (81062027)

    Hello NoNeedToPanic! 👋

    I'm sorry that you're being prompted to unlock the 1Password extension twice. Can you double-check to make sure that you don't have two different versions of the 1Password extension installed in Edge by opening the following link: edge://extensions/

    If you do just have one version of the 1Password extension installed then can you tell me the following: 

    1. Do you actually see a login suggestion on the page like this before you're asked to unlock 1Password a second time:
    2. Do you have any other browsers installed on your Windows PC? Do you see the same issue there? 
    3. How are you unlocking 1Password the first time? From the 1Password desktop app? Or from the icon in Microsoft Edge's toolbar? 

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    -Dave
