1password does not work while playing Dota 2!

I use 1password for IE. When Dota 2 application is minimized and I try using IE to fill password the Lock Menu in system tray does not display the website I visit. In fact it doesn't show the same menu as when the browser is open. Its showing the menu where the browser is closed. I think 1password is unable to find IEexplorer.exe as open while playing Dota 2.

    Is the game running fullscreen before you minimise it?

    Yea. Its a fullscreen Direct 9EX app.

    Does it have an option to run in Windowed mode? If so, try it and tell whether 1Password is still having problems.

    1password works as intended in Window mode and Borderless Window mode. Only Fullscreen is causing the problem.

    Thanks for the suggestion, @RichardPayne, and for the confirmation, @meetajhu‌!

    I can only assume that something about the full-screen mode of Dota 2 (whatever that is) is blocking the necessary communication between the browser extension and the main program.

    Dota refers to Defence of the Ancients.

    @DBrown but its a not a proper fix to play the game in Window mode. Fullscreen mode is the proper way for any game to be played because its a exclusive gpu mode where the desktop color profile gets applied properly when going fullscreen and also the game takes full advantage of the GPU so I get better framerate. You can get more info regarding this online. Also I forgot to mention - Dota 2's menu and game elements are mostly web UI. If you want to test the game its free on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/570/) . Thanks

    @meetajhu‌ these days Window mode should be no slower than fullscreen. Driver support is much better and much more homogenus now. That said, I do agree that window mode is not an answer, but simply from an immersion point of view rather than anything technical.
