Randomly being prompted to authenticate on 8.10.24, is this a bug? or just weird configuration?

shortly after I logging on my Mac, I am prompted to unlock 1Password even if I am not trying to use it. this has started happening within the last week or so. I have not tried restarting my Mac yet...

Hello passwordguy! 👋

I'm sorry that you're seeing a prompt to unlock 1Password when you log in to your Mac. Is it possible that you've added either the 1Password desktop app or one of your browsers as a Login Item for macOS? You can check by following these steps:

  1. Click the  in the menu bar and then click System Settings.
  2. Click General.
  3. Click Login Items.

1Password should be listed under "Allow in the Background" and should not be listed under "Open at Login". If you see 1Password under "Open at Login" then remove it. Remove any remove any browsers listed here as well since they can launch 1Password if you have the extension installed.

I would also recommend that you restart your Mac since that can sometimes clear up all sorts of issues. I look forward to hearing from you.
