Hi! Something strange is happening since a while. Safari has begun frequently stealing focus. After some investigation it seems that it's tied to the 1Password extension (I don't have any proof yet, but when disabling it the issue is not present). It seems to happen when a website perform an auto refresh. If I'm on another virtual desktop, it scrolls to the one containing Safari, bringing it to front. You can imagine how disturbing it is. I don't have any other extension loaded in Safari. Am I the only one? Thanks! 1Password Version: 8.9.10 Extension Version: 2.4.1 OS Version: macOS 13.0.1 Browser:_ Safari

I think I have been seeing this issue since upgrading to 1Password 8 - have you had any success with debugging/fixing the issue please?

I have this same issue, but Safari is my default browser. Anytime I unlock 1password, it will bring focus to any Safari window that is open. Disabling integration with Safari would not be ideal as it is my default browser. Is there any other way to prevent this behavior? It happens on multiple Macs for me.

Hello steph_giles I have also the same problem since a long time (and just lived with it, despite the annoyance). I often use the cli tool that unlocks via touchID (either directly on the Terminal or by calling from a Clojure Repl in Intellij). Safari then either flashes or pops in front of all windows. I just tried the workaround above (disabling the integration with the 1Password App) and it seems to work. However unlocking via TouchID is no more possible in Safari (the extension asks for my password). Can you also add me to the list of affected people? I'd like to know when this is solved. Thank you! ;)

I’ve also had this issue for months. As mentioned above, also just live with the annoyance. But if it helps raise the priority/impact of this bug, you can add me to the affected list, too.

I am also having this issue. The bigger problem I have with 1Password 8 is that its behavior is not deterministic at all. For example, if I use the keyboar shortcut to login to a website, nothing happens. If I execute the same keyboard command again immediately, it will fill the username and password fields in the browser and log me in. There are other example of non-deterministic behavior. This is maddening when using a computer program. If I can't depend on its behavior it makes the product a chore to use, when it used to be a pleasure 100% of the time.

Cheers,

I came here after searching for a solution to the same or similar issue.

In my case:

macOS 13.6.3

Safari version: 17.2.1

1Password app version: 8.10.24

1Password for Safari extension version: 2.20.0

Description of issue:

Whenever I lock or unlock 1Password app and Safari is running in the background (i.e., Safari is running and does not have focus) Safari automatically comes to the foreground and steals focus.

When unchecking "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app" in the extension settings, this issue continues to occur. If the 1Password Safari extension is disabled this does not occur.

Update:

After updating to the latest version of Safari (17.3.1) and the latest version of 1Password app (version 8.10.26), this appears to be fixed for me!!! 👏 👏 👏

Thanks for that. And have just tried updating 1Password to 8.10.23 (81023003) but still see the issue - using 1Password in Chrome brings Safari to the front.

I'm sorry that you're seeing the same issue, I've let our developers know that you're also affected.

Out of curiosity, I seem to have two 1Passwords in /Applications '1Password.app' and '1Password for Safari.app'. Are both needed or is '1Password for Safari.app' causing conflicts?

1Password is the desktop application while 1Password for Safari is our browser extension for Safari. It's normal to have both and I recommend that you continue to keep both installed on your Mac so that you have access to both the desktop app as well as filling and saving in Safari.

I too have had this issue for months. Safari seems to come to the fore when logging-in to 1Password from Chrome, or Safari just comes to the front for no reason (that I can tell).

Out of curiosity, I seem to have two 1Passwords in /Applications '1Password.app' and '1Password for Safari.app'. Are both needed or is '1Password for Safari.app' causing conflicts?
