1Blocker vs 1P, possible conflict

Thanks, steph_giles ; and a Happy New Year to you and yours as well :-)

Will do. It seems as though there's some combination of settings which causes this behaviour; and so somehow reversing/unsetting them has caused it to go away. Alex at 1Blocker kindly investigated as well and determined that the appearance of the 'previous' site is indeed a 1P phenomenon. Your help appreciated.

Hey Mark_Sealey

I'm sorry for the delayed response, let us know if you experience any other strange behaviour and we can further investigate.

Happy New Year!

It can recur, Yes.

I experimented some more with both 1P and 1Blocker settings and have managed to avoid the behaviour. But I can't be sure exactly which change has caused this.

Mark_Sealey what happens when you turn off 1Blocker? Is the issue via 1Password still present?

Hello again, @Joy_1P,

I have heard back from the very helpful developer of 1Blocker, Alex.

He has confirmed that this is a bug (or some sort of - unexpected - behaviour) in 1P itself. And not reproducible from their software.

Any guidance you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks, @Joy_1P .

Of course:

@Mark Sealey hmm that is a bit odd. Are you able to share a screenshot of the message about the request?

Thanks, steph_giles … I think I understand that. It's the fact that it always shows not the current but the previous site (the last page used, a page I am no longer on) needing attention which is puzzling me :-)

Hey Mark_Sealey,

Since 1Password for Safari is a “web extension”, it needs user permissions to be able to function within the browser. Our requirement to “allow access to all sites” achieves two things:

• The ability to scan (read) the page HTML to determine if it’s fillable. This also tells us where/when to inject the inline menu.
• The ability to autofill (write) to the site. While performing an autofill, it effectively changes the HTML. When you submit the autofill, it will allow you to authenticate it properly.

If you still have any concerns, I recommend going through this explanation of our security and privacy: About 1Password browser permissions .

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
