The following issues I have had recurring when using the safari browser extention with the (new) Profiles enabled. This issue appears when running MacOS 13 and 14 Sonoma - Safari 1Password browser extention works (unlocks) and fills in feilds on second, third or any additional profile that is setup and a window is opened. From the "Default" profile the extension icon generally remains 'locked' or the window opens and the extension shows unlocked and shows passwords, however autofill, copy/paste action fail to respond. A Clear History will reset 1Password - however when that is completed each profile is reset and the associated 1Password preferences are also reset When more than one Profile window is open Activity Monitor has a 1Password Safari Web Extension process running for each profile that has significant resource usage. 1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.16 (81016047) Extension Version: 2.15.1 21500107, on STABLE channel OS Version: 13.6 (22G120) Browser: Safari Version 17.0 (18616.1.27.111.22, 18616)

Universal Autofill is a good workaround for passwords, but not for websites using Passkeys. With more websites using Passkeys I'm hitting this issue more frequently too.

Thanks @praseodym

I've mentioned that idea to the team. I appreciate you sharing it.

How is it that 2 years later there is still not a resolution for this issue? Universal auto-fill doesn't always work. Toggling the extension on and off doesn't always work. Why is this issue so difficult to fix when Safari profiles have existed for so long? I really don't understand how anyone at Agilebits can think it's acceptable to just keep posting workarounds rather than fixing the actual root issue.

I'm just going to leave a "me too" here. I've been living with this issue for ages; this is the first time I've investigated whether it's actually been reported.

I have two (main) Safari profiles: Personal and Work. I auto-switch to Work profile based on the Work focus. (System Settings → Focus → Work → Focus Filters)

When I'm at work (like right now), 1Password is unlocked in a Safari window with the Work profile enabled. But in the window right next door that's in Personal profile, 1Password is locked.

I can fill passwords in a Personal window, but I constantly get prompted to unlock 1Password.

Other password managers don't do any better. Safari only links the extension starting with the second tab in a new window. Only “Apple Passwords” can do it the Apple way ,-)

Open a new profile window
Open your page: The login doesn't work
Open your page in a second tab: The login works

My solution is to open a new profile window with tabs for profile favorites. In the profile favorites folder, the first bookmark is a page that doesn't require a login, such as “Startpage Search.”

Been using 1password since Version 5. It was great, held on to standalone Version 7 for years.

Then I screwed up and upgraded this year. The Safari extension just doesn't work, it's too buggy.

Tried Strongbox it worked great, but all they do is passwords. Maybe a combination of 1P for address and credit cards, and Strongbox for passwords.

Yeah... They even sent out a huge update saying that the new extension is so much better. It's not. It's worse. To the point where 99% of the time, 1Password doesn't work in Safari anymore at all. The only way I can get anything to fill in a password is by using the universal fill (Cmd + \) but that doesn't help at all with stuff like passkeys where there's no login field.
