Error: "Unable to save item." when saving a new password in the browser

Hi @jgerry, it's possible that your VPN is interfering with or re-routing 1Password's local communications. Could you tell us more about your VPN configurations? If you're more comfortable chatting with us privately via email, you can reach out to us mailto:support+forum@1password.com.

My VPN is a pretty generic (and old-ish) implementation, L2TP over IPSec, setup that routes all traffic through my work VPN server. So my IP definitely changes when I turn it on.

I don't find it to be a critical issue, I just thought I would bring it up since I hadn't seen this mentioned.

We're not using a VPN on our Chromebooks and the problem continues to occur. I would say that the information actually saves about 10% of the time.

@jgerry If it's a work VPN, I would recommend reaching out to your company's IT team to see if they can help. Though you can get around the issue by turning off the VPN, I do want to let you know that's an option.

@KenEsq just to check, have you emailed us with your extension console logs and diagnostics report? If not, please reproduce the behavior and send us those details. Here's a link to the post with guides on how to send all that over: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/681357/#Comment_681357

We'll be able to look into the issue further once we get that diagnostics information. Let us know if you have any questions in the meantime.

I'm having a similar problem on my iMac (Monterey 12.6.5, using Chrome). I'm also getting asked to reauthenticate 2FA every time I unlock 1P. It then gives me a message "unable to save your 2FA token".

Hey @jus10,

I'm sorry for the trouble. Can you let me know if the below steps improve things for you at all?

1. Right click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose Settings.
2. Under General, disable "Integrate with 1Password app".
3. Under Accounts & Vaults, sign out of your account.
4. Sign back into your account.
5. Go back to General, and re-enable "Integrate with 1Password app". (If you don't have the 1Password app installed, you can skip step 5 and leave app integration disabled).

Let me know how you get on!

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling and that seems to have fixed it. It was in the context of some other weird keychain behavior on this iMac so maybe that had something to do with it.

Thanks for the update and for sharing those details @jus10! Happy to hear that things appear to be resolved. If you encounter the issue again, please let us know.

I have the same issue happening. I tried the fix above and it fixed it for one day. Now it's back to being broken again. So incredibly frustrating to have this happen nonstop. Between this and other issues, I am really regretting my switch from LastPass. Big bummer.

Hi @jordanbeacham,

Since the issue is persisting for you after trying the fix, I'd like to ask if you can reproduce the behaviour and send over a console log from your device so that we can take a closer look:

• Save a console log for 1Password in your browser

Please attach the log to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com and please include the following:
