Is this just me? I can't enter password from the extension path. Just get black screen.


1Password Version: 8.10.32
Extension Version: 2.23.3
OS Version: Win11
Browser: Edge

Our team has received a few other reports of the issue and we're investigating this behaviour. For the time being, you might be able to workaround the issue without having to turn off app integration by following these steps in the desktop app:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password 8.
  2. In the top left, click ⋮ > Settings > Advanced.
  3. Uncheck the option to Use Hardware Acceleration.
  4. Fully quit and restart the app with Ctrl + Q or by right clicking the icon in the system tray > Quit.
  5. Relaunch 1Password and test whether you can still reproduce the black window.

Let me know if that helps. 🙂

I am having the same problem when using the built in SSH Agent. This started today after the update.

Hello @more_cowbell and @sunshinemu! 👋

I'm sorry that 1Password's unlock window isn't rendering correctly. So that I can investigate this further, please reproduce the issue again and then I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Windows PC:

Uninstalled both the 1Password app and browser extension last week and it fixed things, but short lived. It went back to black screen yesterday. Also updated the app today and it's still an issue.

I'm sorry that the issue came back. I see that my colleague sent you a response and that they're currently reviewing the logs that you sent in. You'll receive another reply soon, please continue the conversation over email.

Same thing happened to me. I fixed it by doing this:

1Password browser extension->Settings->General->Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app->Switch off->Switch on

and then I locked 1Password to test and could see it worked again.

Turning off acceleration:

Oddly on another Win11 machine unlocking from browswer looks different and this is how this problem pc looked for a couple days after reinstalling app/ext before it went black again. It only opens 1 window with password prompt vs 2.

Thanks for the reply. It looks like turning off hardware acceleration allows you to workaround the issue, did I understand correctly?

It looks like the integration between the browser extension and the desktop app is either turned off or not working on that PC. Are you still seeing that behaviour now or did it completely go away once you reinstalled 1Password?

Yes, for the time being it’s working but looks different. What will be lost with acceleration disabled?

Not sure I fully follow your 2nd question, but on the pc having this issue but integration is enabled and I’m able to enter password from the browser icon but I see 2 windows open vs 1.
