Question

Safari Extension won't fill if too many tabs open

Folks, I am having an intermittent problem where the 1Password extension will not autofill. You clink the icon in the web page, nothing happens - no pull-down menu
If I use the icon at the top of the browser, it can recognize the site, but when I click autofill, it won't work.
1Password and safari are both updated

Solutions I've found - quit and restart Safari - very inconvenient
Open a new safari window - much less disruptive but still annoying

This sounds very similar to the problem reported ~3 years ago at: Autofill stops working on Safari tab | 1Password Community, but that user was using beta Safari version,,

Thanks in advance for any advice and hopefully a solution!

Hello @realmike! 👋

I'm sorry that 1Password for Safari is running into trouble when filling your login credentials. So that I can try to reproduce the issue can you tell me the following: 

  1. What version of 1Password for Safari are you using: How to keep 1Password up to date in your browser
  2. What version of macOS are you using: Find out which macOS your Mac is using
  3. How many tabs have to be open before the issue occurs? 


I look forward to hearing from you.

-Dave

Hi Dave, sorry for the delay, I replied to the email sent by the system, realizing it was an unmonitored mailbox.

Hi Dave!

  1. 1Password for Mac 8.11.14 (81114027) (I will update to 8.11.16 asap)

 

 

 

  1. OSX: 15.6.1 (24G90)

  2. I have not tested the system enough to definitely say that it is “fine with 3 tabs but always fails with 5 tabs.” I frequently have many ….5-10 ….open at a time. To be sure, I am guessing that it is the number of tabs that are open, it may just be that the Safari window is open too long.

    Fix that I have found is to:
    -  shutdown safari (that can take over a minute of many tabs are open, btw, maybe that’s a clue)
    - open a new safari window, 1password works fine in the new window, but still fails in the first window

@realmike 

Thank you for the reply. Can you update to the latest version of 1Password for Safari (8.11.18) and the latest version of macOS 15 (15.7.2), you can find update guides here: 


Then try to reproduce the issue again. If you do see the same issue then let me know and I can help further.
