1Password for Mac 8.10.30 (81030032) How can I start 1PW minimized if I select within the settings of 1PW that it should start with login? Currently, it starts the notification in the menu bar and the main window. 1Password Version: 8.10.30 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 14.4.1 Browser: Not Provided

Hello CologneGuy! 👋 I'm sorry that you're seeing 1Password open unexpectedly when you login to your Mac. It's normal for 1Password's icon to appear in the menu bar like this: If this what you're seeing? Or are you seeing 1Password appear in the Dock (at the bottom of your screen) or seeing the app's main window open after a restart? When you restart your Mac do you have "Reopen windows when logging back in" turned off? -Dave ref: dev/core/core#29109

It's normal for 1Password's icon to appear in the menu bar like this: If this what you're seeing? This icon I can see and that's OK. It is also necessary for the shortcuts. Or are you seeing 1Password appear in the Dock (at the bottom of your screen) or seeing the app's main window open after a restart? Correct. The app's main window appears in the dock and opens as window. When you restart your Mac do you have "Reopen windows when logging back in" turned off? It was and is turned off. That was the first I have checked. I have also restarted my Macbook several times from the scratch (this means not just log-off/log-on). Later I have checked if there is a new setting within 1PW w/r to the main window. BTW: Macbook Air 15", M*3*, macOS 14.4.1

Hi CologneGuy - thanks for sharing those further details. We're currently aware of an issue where 1Password for Mac can unexpectedly open in the Dock on start up and the development team are working towards a fix, but we wouldn't expect this issue to also cause the main 1Password window to open. The only way I've been able to replicate this behaviour is by adding 1Password to the Open at Login list in the Login Items section of my Mac's System Settings. Do you see 1Password listed there?

It is listed in the Login Items. If I deactivate 1PW in this section, 1PW not even appears in den menu (independent if the setting is already activated within 1PW settings). As soon as I activate 1PW in the Login Items it appears in the menu again but then also the main windows appears. This is what 1PW looks like if it is activated in the a.m. section:

CologneGuy Thanks for the reply. 1Password uses a different method to launch at startup and I recommend that you make sure that this method is setup and then remove 1Password from "Open at login". Follow these steps: Open and unlock 1Password for Mac. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar. Click Settings and then General. Make sure that both "Keep 1Password in the menubar" and "Start at login" are turned on. Then open the macOS Settings app: Click on the  in the menu bar and then click System Settings. Click General and then click Login items. Remove 1Password from the "Open at login" section. If you have a browser added here then remove it as well since 1Password's browser extension could be launching the desktop app when the browser loads. Make sure that 1Password is turned on in the "Allow in the Background" section. Then restart your Mac, make sure that "Reopen windows when logging back in" is turned off when restarting. Do you still see the main window appear? -Dave

Correct. The app's main window appears in the dock and opens as window.
