Starting with version 8.10.8, my 1Password for Mac app doesn't start automatically on startup. I have to start it manually, or click the 1Password icon in my browser, after which everything is normal.


1Password Version: 8.10.8
Extension Version: 2.12.0
OS Version: macOS 13.4.1
Browser: Chrome

Hello @fssbob! 👋

I'm sorry that 1Password 8 isn't starting automatically on your Mac, can you tell me a little more about the issue? After you restart your Mac do you expect to see the 1Password icon in your menu bar or do you expect to see 1Password's main window open automatically?

Can you check the following settings:

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

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂

After restarting my Mac I expect to see the 1Password icon in my menu bar. That's what has stopped happening since the 8.10.8 update.

Once I either start the Application (in Finder) or click on the 1Password Chrome browser icon, the 1Password icon appears in my menu bar--and it stays there until the next time I restart my Mac.

I've verified that both "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" and "Start at login" are turned on.

Thanks.

I have a configuration similar to fssbob, and am experiencing the same issue with the 8.10.8 update on both my M1 Mini and M1 MacBook Pro. The previous version started up automatically.

To add to what has already been reported here, I also notice that the 1Password icon briefly flashes in the menu bar upon login, then disappears.

I am also having this same issue with 8.10.8. Would you like for me to send the same information?

June 29, 2023

Same issue here! It looks like 1P is starting at logon but after while it disappears from the menu bar and I have to start the app manually.

I also have the same problem.
Removing both options, restarting and re-enabling the options did not help.
