Hello nickheurter! 👋

Thanks for reaching out! My initial suspicion is that you don't have the 1Password app set to run in the background so it needs to open from scratch whenever you try to unlock 1Password in the browser. Can you check the following:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click General.
  5. Make sure that "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" is enabled.

If that still doesn't work then can you tell me which shortcut you're using to open 1Password? And are you opening the extension pop-up, Quick Access, or the main 1Password app?
