Question

1Password 8 not working in some Mac user accounts

Dear Helpers,

Got v8.8 up and running well, so far so good.

Except --

I have multiple user accounts on my iMac and v8 won't open up in at least one of them, which happens to be an Admin account. I tried giving it Read/Write access to the app, but no joy.

I get two error messages:

  1. 'The Application "1Password.app" cannot be opened.'

  2. '..cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure .. works with
    this version of macOS. You may need to reinstall the
    application. Be sure to install any available updates for
    the application and macOS.

    Click Report to see more detailed information and
    send a report to Apple.'

    (Note: in message #2, the two dots appear in message text as written, and not "1Password.app")

As I say, v 8.8 works flawlessly (including in browsers) in another Standard Mac user account.

Any thoughts as to what I might try?

Thanks,

-Mark

I was able to locate your conversation, so we'll be in touch soon.

When might I expect to hear back with a solution, please?

It's been over 24 hours since I submitted the crash report and confirmed the support reference here.

My elderly father, who followed my recommendation to rely on 1Password and who followed the prompt in version 7 to upgrade to 8, remains unable to access the program. He is, understandably, feeling very confused, upset and frustrated.

@Jack_P_1P Hello and hope this message finds you doing well. Long time 1Password Family user here and recently upgraded from 1Password 7 to version 8 and oh boy do I regret it. I have this same issue as listed here where one user on my iMac works with 1Password and my wife's user doesn't work. It sounds like there is a solution available so I'm genuinely curious why you just wouldn't post the solution here but instead make each individual user open a new ticket?

Hi @bruceg11,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing something similar. We generally want to confirm what the issue is before making suggestions, lest we send anyone down the wrong path. That said, what some users in this thread have experienced has since been addressed in our nightly build. If you're open to trying that, you can change your release channel in 1Password 8's preferences:

If you have automatic updates turned on, you'll be updated to the new version within 24 hours of making this change. Alternatively, or if the issue persists, you can also send a crash report to support+forum@1password.com and we can take a closer look.

Let me know and we can figure out our next steps from there. 🙂

Sorry to say this problem recurs with each update. I'm in my third go-round.

This is the fix -- it still works -- given by the 1Password Support Community:

Open Terminal.app from an administrative account, and enter the following commands.

cd /Applications/1Password.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron\ Framework.framework
sudo chmod -h 755 ./Electron\ Framework ./Helpers ./Libraries ./Resources
cd Versions
sudo chmod -h 755 ./Current

Although I'm grateful for the fix, it is most perplexing why the issue persists.
