Question

The application “1Password 7.app” is not open anymore.

Every time I restart my computer, 1Password does not open when clicking on the Application icon on the Dock and Applications folder. I receive this error when my MacBook has been on for a long time.

Here is the error: "The application “1Password 7.app” is not open anymore."

I have the most recent version of 1Password:

I have to shut down 1Password using "Activity Monitor" every time.

I can see on multiple forums (including this one) that this is a common problem.

Is this bug going to be fixed?


1Password Version: 7.9.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: MacOS Monterey 12.1

Hello there, I'm having exactly the same problem as OP. Quiting 1Password.app in Activity Monitor works well. 1Pass (7.9.2) has been installed from App Store, MBP 16" M1 with macOS 12.1. I didn't have this problem on previous MBP 16" 2019.

Hi @jacks and @jirsbek 👋

@jacks:

While we investigate this issue further, here is our suggested workaround:

  1. In the Finder, click Go menu > Utilities.
  2. Open Activity Monitor and click the CPU tab.
  3. Search for "1Password"
  4. Select all matching processes with ⌘–A or Edit menu > Select All.
  5. Click the 🛑 force quit button in the toolbar and Force Quit.
  6. When all processes disappear, reopen 1Password normally.

I hope that helps!

@jirsbek:

Thanks for letting us know. As of this writing, we do not have any updates regarding the issue, but as you've mentioned, quitting 1Password.app in Activity Monitor will work and is currently our suggested workaround.

Hi @ShaneKeller 👋

My apologies for the ongoing issue. We've had some users report that using the beta version of the 1Password for Mac app helped resolve the issue. If you're able to, can you try updating to our latest beta version to see if that helps?

Install a beta release of the 1Password app

@Alvin_L_1P I will give the beta a try and let you know. Thank you for the suggestion!
