Safari for Mac 1password 8 won't autofill

I upgraded from 1password 7 to 8 and can't get it to autofil in Safarl. I followed these instructions but it still won't work. What am I doing wrong?

Set up Universal Autofill
Before you can use 1Password for Mac to autofill your information in apps and browsers, you’ll need to set up 1Password on your Mac. Then follow these steps:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
Click the Privacy tab, then select Accessibility from the list.
Click the lock icon and enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
Select the checkbox beside 1Password. If you don’t see 1Password, click the + button, locate the 1Password app in your Applications folder, then select it and click Open.
Turn on the Accessibility preference for 1Password
From now on, you’ll be able to use 1Password for Mac to fill your usernames and passwords without opening the 1Password app.


1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: mac 12.6
Browser:_ Safari

I also noticed (maybe it's a related issue) that 1P doesn't suggest to save new passwords in Safari when I type in a password somewhere the 1P doesn't have a password for. So far using the new 1P takes a lot of effort and time. Do others also have such issues with it? I would love for it to start working well, otherwise I'm thinking of returning to the old version. Thanks.

And also, the Open and fill action in the 1P app isn't working either. It just open the page, not filling in the password. I think it will all be related..
