My guess was always that she was an active Force user, but since she didn't spend a lot of time around other Force users, she learned to use her power defensively (being taught to hide from enemies as a child).
So she developed a natural "cloaking" effect, which she cultivated over time, and used to keep hiding from people (her father, the Empire) during her various escapades, so by the time she met Vader all her skill points were dumped into Hide in Plain Sight.
...and since why would Vader bother taking a second look at the Force presence of a random Senator's daughter...
Rogue One shows Vader on a Rebel ship. A smaller ship undocks from that ship and speeds off. Vader watches it speed away. 5-10 minutes later, Vader catches up with it and boards it. That’s the opening of A New Hope.
She isn’t some random Senators daughter. She is someone who is on-board a rebel ship that’s holding information Vader wants back. Her being a Senators daughter and using the diplomatic immunity argument paints an even larger target on her.
She was his daughter, and based on Lukes feats, she is also insanely powerful. It is fully possible her raw force powers, instinctively honed into an “you ain’t seeing shit” effect over her entire life, are strong enough to bluff him.
The real cause is that she wasent his daughter at this point in the movies, because luke and leia weren’t meant to be related when they wrote the first movie.

Why WOULDN’T Vader take a second look at her?
