1Password for Safari not communicating with the desktop app [FIXED]

I'm having the same issue it's very hard to go back to putting in a lengthy password to open the browser extension so it's rendered the browser extension basically useless. Patch soon please, thanks.

Thanks for responding. I guess I'll wait for the fix. Now that I don't have it, I really miss the convenience.

1Password 8.10.40 (81040031), 1Password for Safari 2.27.1 (22700103), macOS Sequoia beta 15.0 (24A5331b), Sfari 18.0

I've noticed what I think is a behaviour change since a recent update of either 1Password or 1Password for Safari.

My 1Password/1Password for Safari security settings are as per the attached screenshots.

It used to be that both 1Password and 1Password for Safari would remain unlocked for me most of the time (how I wanted it to be) and if I did need to unlock one or the other I could use Touch ID or my Apple Watch to do so. Now I find that:

• 1Password for Safari locks whenever I quit Safari. I'm pretty sure it did not used to do that.

• 1Password for Safari does not allow me to use TouchID or Watch to unlock it. When I have to unlock it it always requires my password (1Password itself happily unlocks with TouchID and/or Watch).

Has this behaviour changed recently? If so, is there any way to revert it to the earlier behaviour (which is much better from my perspective).

Browser: Safari 18.0

How could this ship/be updated without testing? What is going on at 1Password?

This just happened. For some reason I can no longer use touch ID on my iMac in Safari Extension to unlock 1Password. I'm sure it's a setting somewhere. I've tried several fixes to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I'm frustrated to say the least.

As far as I know, 1password did not update their app or safari extension. It's probably a silent update on apple's side. Only Apple Os can update silently. Other apps have not enough power over the system to do that.

I literally came here to report this issue and am glad it is known and a fix is in process.

I have the same issue. This is really beyond comprehension that 1Password is overriding a user's control of decisions that they have already made. It is burning time of the end-user for absolutely no gain in security except from the user who already logged into their machine.

Revert this change!

Same problem here. When I first noticed the problem, every time I would type my password to unlock 1Password for Safari it would open the 1Password login page on a new tab. Eventually I went ahead and signed in there and now at least that doesn't happen every time, but Touch ID and Apple Watch unlock no longer work, nor does unlocking the 1Password app. It requires manually typing the password in Safari.

Hi @ChrisJenkins & @cvadmin

Apologies for the trouble you're experiencing with 1Password for Safari on your Mac where your security settings are out of sync between the 1Password browser extension and desktop app. The development team have been made aware of an issue that arose with 1Password for Safari over the weekend which broke the integration between the two and are working on a fix.

We're pushing to have this fix available on the App Store as soon as possible but you can continue unlocking 1Password for Safari manually after Safari is re-opened or you can temporarily switch to another browser like Chrome or Firefox since the 1Password browser extension isn't affected there.

You can also keep an eye out for developments on the 1Password Status website here: 1Password Status - SLS not working in Safari.
