Touch ID no longer available/working in Chrome extension

In the last weeks touch ID is no longer available/working via the browser extension in Chrome on a MacBook Air, 2024. There is no option given for it, only for password entry. It was working great and then stopped. Now I need to enter my password all the time. The standalone app works perfectly with touch ID and with my Apple watch. I've uninstalled the browser extension and reinstalled, have also tried all steps listed here: https://1password.community/discussion/143609/touch-id-for-1password-chrome-extension-has-stopped-working


1Password Version: 8.10.40
Extension Version: 8.10.44.21
OS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.6.1
Browser: Chrome 128.0.6613.84

I had the same issue, but the suggested solutions didn’t work for me. I’ll leave the instructions from the 1Password support team here, as they helped me resolve it on macOS:

1. Click the 1Password icon in the menu bar (top right corner near the clock) and select "Quit".
2. Right-click your browser in your dock and select "Quit".
3. Click the  (Apple icon) at the top left of your screen and select "System Settings".
4. Click "General" > "Login items".
5. Ensure 1Password is enabled under Allow in the background

After that, I'd suggest restarting your Mac without selecting the option of "Reopen windows when logging back in". On startup, open and unlock the 1Password 8 desktop app first, and then, open your browser and see if the 1Password extension is unlocked automatically there.
