Hiya,

I'm having an issue as of this morning using the 1password cli integration with the 1p8 mac beta.
It launches the prompt for me to authorise an action, but its immediately dismissed (i see it flicker), and I get the following error:
authorization prompt dismissed, please try again


1Password Version: 80700002
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.3

Did anyone manage to solve this? Having it intermittent and it's driving me mad as the only way to solve it is to reboot

Hi! I thought I'd bump this thread, as this just started happening to me recently. Two potential factors from the thread so far that match my case: I am operating my Mac in clamshell mode, and I do have 'Unlock my Mac with Apple Watch' enabled. When the problem occurs, I've found extracting my Mac, opening it, and running op signin in the CLI will work: I get the TouchID prompt, answer it, and things work...until I close the clamshell again, at which point it's no dice. Happy to generate diagnostics if needed; hopefully this is a fixable problem!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm sorry that you're running into this. We are currently working on an major update for the authorization prompts that might solve this problem.

I'll report back when that update is available on the nightly or beta releases of the app, so you can give it a try.

Hey all! The latest nightly release of the 1Password app contain the major update to the authorization prompts I talked about earlier this week. The new prompts not only look prettier (if you ask me), but I expect them to solve the reported issue as well.

You can try out the nightly release by following https://support.1password.com/betas/, but selecting "Nightly" instead of "Beta" as the release channel. Alternatively, these will be available in the beta release sometime soon.

If you give it a try, let me know if this resolves the issue!
