TypeError: Illegal invocation in Chrome Browser

This happens on all the platforms I've tried: Windows, Linux, and Mac. I find multiple reports of this behavior online, including notes on how it should be fixed... and yet it isn't. Is there a timeframe for when this will be addressed? Or is there a workaround users can apply for the time being?

Hello @btaroli! 👋

I'm sorry that you're running into an error message when using 1Password in Chrome. So that I can better understand the situation can you tell me the following:

  1. Where are you seeing the error message that you mentioned? Does it appear on the page? Or in the console log? Can you provide a screenshot of the error message?
  2. Are there specific steps that you can share that I can follow to reproduce the issue?
  3. Does the issue happen on a specific website or when performing a specific action?
  4. Can you link to the other reports that you mentioned?

I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm having the same problem on 7.0.3495.29 (Stable channel) (arm64) when trying to login to Oracle Cloud with a passkey. Here's another which looked into the issue.

@Pauliehedron,

Thank you for writing in. Our development team is tracking a known issue when using a passkey on Oracle Cloud. I've added you as an affected user to our internal reporting.

In the meantime, I recommend using an alternative login method. I understand that this may not be ideal, and I apologize for the interruption to your workflow caused by this.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Can I be added also?

I guess you could consider my case, the one I reported here, as Oracle Cloud as well, since our internal SSO is based on OCI IDCS. I have some other passkey sites that aren't Oracle, so I could try those with Chrome to confirm they aren't affected. Please add me to the Oracle affected list as well. I'd like to have some idea when I might be able to use it again, though I fall back on a Yubikey in Chrome for now.

I only have a passkey as my 2nd factor, so my workaround is using Floorp (a firefox derivative)

After wrestling against auto-submit for the site I tried, I did find passkeys working with non-Oracle sites in Chrome. So yes the situation I'm having is definitely realted to Oracle/OCI.

@btaroli,

Thank you for the additional details. I've added you as an affected user to our internal reporting.

@Pauliehedron,

I'm glad you found a workaround to signing in with a passkey on Oracle using a different browser. 🙂

I am having the same issue. I am getting "TypeError: Illegal invocation" when trying to use a passkey to log into Oracle cloud/internal Oracle websites. The error is raised on the log in side.

Is there any workaround for this. I cannot use chrome. It used to work with chrome. It works with firefox

I'm sorry for the trouble, @mpoess. I've shared your experience with our development team. As a temporary workaround, I'd suggest using an alternative sign-in method or using a browser like Firefox.

Hi folks - I am experiencing the same issue with a twist. This is for Oracle websites also - and I get the same errors as above.

I created the passkey via Safari on the Mac. Chrome on the Mac works, but Chrome on Windows with the same passkey doesn't work. Firefox on Windows works. Edge on Windows does not work (it's Chrome under the hood).

Very annoying as Chrome is a large part of my day to day workflows. Would the team be able to outline what the plan is to address this?
