Question

Opening Safari causes email every time: "New 1Password sign-in from Safari extension"

For the last couple of days, I've been getting emails with the above subject multiple times. I've gotten 6 of them today. It seems that whenever I open Safari on my iPhone this happens. I think it started happening after the new iOS 1Password beta 8.10.26 came in via TestFlight. Not sure if this indicates a problem or not, but it would be nice to stop the emails since they are not too useful.


1Password Version: 81026001 beta channel
Extension Version: ?
OS Version: iOS 17.4
Browser: Safari

@MCKLMT and @AK63

I'm sorry for the impact the issue is causing, I've forwarded your comments and reports to our development team who are investigating the issue. For now, you can workaround the issue by turning off the extension for Safari on your iPhone or iPad and using AutoFill instead:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Safari.
  3. Tap Extensions.
  4. Tap 1Password.
  5. Turn off "Allow Extension".

Then setup and use iOS AutoFill: Use 1Password to save logins and sign in to apps and websites on your iPhone and iPad

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your patience while we continue to investigate the issue. The team would like to know if iOS 17.4 beta 2 (released today) improves the situation or if you continue to see the same number of "New sign-in" emails.

I look forward to hearing from you.

over here iOS 17.4 Beta 2 (21E5195e) fixed the issue... same for the iPadOS Beta…

Preliminary indications look like this has been solved. I’m curious how the OS could have caused this. And why no other apps were affected (as far as I’ve noticed).

I'm on the public beta cycle so I guess I won't get this update until next week. I'm very happy to hear it's resolved though.

Question for the 1P team: are you addressing any internal bugs that might cause this to happen again? It's worth saying that getting a flurry of false security notifications constitutes a security hole. When a user gets a dozen or more of these a day they will learn to overlook the valid security notifications as well as the errant ones.

@khoi

We actively monitor the beta releases of iOS and macOS so that we can address any issues that may affect 1Password before Apple releases the stable version to the public. 🙂
