There are two issues with the latest version of 1Password and Wavebox which have been introduced with the latest version of the 1Password desktop app

Wavebox version: 10.115.15 -> 10.115.24
macOS: 13.4.1
1Password desktop app: 1Password for Mac 8.10.10 (81010014) (beta)
Safari: 16.5.2

1Password extension (Wavebox): 2.13.0
1Password extension (Safari) 2.13.0
Sidekick: 114.48.1.34403
1Password extension (Sidekick): 2.13.0

The first issue is that when the 1Password extension is installed in Wavebox or Sidekick and then in Safari, opening Safari causes macOS to flash between both browsers at speed. Removing the 1Password extension from any of the browsers stops the flashing. See the attached video:

The second issue is that biometric authentication has stopped working with version 8.10.10 beta of the 1Password desktop app. The extension always asks for the password (no error message).

1Password Version: 8.10.10
Extension Version: 2.13.0
OS Version: macOS 13.4.1
Browser: Wavebox, Sidekick

Browser Extension

Hey @megdanov,

I'm sorry for the delayed reply.

We have been able to get things working as expected with the Nightly version of 1Password for Mac where we have added a trusted browsers feature.

If you are interested, you can switch release channel in the desktop app to "Nightly" under Settings > Advanced. Then, you can go to the "About" section and click "Check for Updates" to install the Nightly version.

Next you can add a trusted browser:

Open & unlock 1Password 8 for Mac.
Click your profile icon in the top-left corner.
Select Settings....
Under the Browser tab.
Click "Add Browser" and choose the Wavebox browser under the Applications folder.
After adding Wavebox as the trusted browser, let's quit 1Password and Wavebox and restart them to test again.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Trusted browsers are actually available in 1Password 8.10.16 on the production channel now, there's been some discussion around this here https://1password.community/discussion/comment/695784#Comment_695611

Thank you @Thomas8520, you're right.

You can enable custom browser support within the 1Password app by going to Settings > Labs > Enable custom browser support.
