Starting about a month back, I now have to enter my master PW each time I want to use 1 PW in Safari, even with the app open and unlocked. I have the Macbook Pro with the fingerprint reader, and prior to this change, I only had to use my finger on the reader, only entering my master PW every 2 weeks.

•I have tried re-installing the Safari extension... Nope.
•Remove the extension, relaunch Safari, reinstall the extension... Nope.
•Restart the Mac... Nope.


1Password Version: 8.10.4
Extension Version: 2.10.0
OS Version: 13.3.1 (a)
Browser:_ Safari v16.4

Hello @MacDanny! 👋

I'm sorry that you're being prompted for your account password more often than expected. As a start, can you update to the latest version of the desktop app (8.10.6) since it looks like you're running an older version: How to keep 1Password up to date

Once updated, try these steps:

  1. Close all open web browsers.
  2. Right-click on the 1Password icon at the top of your Mac's screen and then click Quit. Wait until the icon disappears.
  3. Double-click on 1Password from your Mac's Application folder.
  4. Open your web browser.

If that still doesn't resolve the issue then let me know. 🙂

Dave,

I have tried this a few times now, and I still end up having to enter my master pw each time I try to use the Safari 1PW extension...
I am using the latest version of the app.
