1Password 8.10.44 Not Starting and Showing in the Menu Bar At Machine Startup/Login [Known Issue]

If you see the issue again after restarting then let me know and I can help further. 🙂

I don't reboot too often. Last time I rebooted, after updating to 8.10.46, 1Password did nicely start automatically.

But tonight, it didn't, and I had to launch the desktop app manually.

I see 8.10.48 is now available, so next time I reboot I will check again.

Hello everyone,

Our developers have released a new update with a fix for an issue when 1Password for Mac wouldn't start at login on Intel Macs. You can find instructions on how to update here:

• How to keep 1Password up to date

If you can still reproduce the issue after updating 1Password for Mac to 8.10.46 then let me know. 🙂

I have app installed, but not browser extension. When I hit the first page that needs a password and press CMD+\, I'm expecting the 1Password unlock dialog, but nothing happens. I have to open the 1Password app to log in.

I've found that as long as 1Password is running in the menu bar, it works. (I can close main app, lock 1Password via the menu bar, then when I use CMD+\ at a login prompt, I do get the 1Password unlock dialog. But if I quit the menu bar, I won't.)

So, it looks like the problem is that 1Password is not starting automatically on my system. The icon appears in the menu bar only after the first time that I manually launch 1Password. (It will continue running when I quit the 1Password main app.)

In 1Password Settings > General I have checked both "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" and "Start at login." Is there anything else I need to do?

I can manually add this to my Login items to see if that solves it, though I don't think that is how most apps start automatically.

I suppose it's also possible that if I installed Safari extension, it would either launch the menubar app or handle this unlock problem in some other way. But I choose to not use the extension.

It's worth pointing out that I am running Monterey.

Thanks.

I'm sorry for the interruption to your workflow. This is a known issue that the team is working to fix, please see my comment here.

• both "start at login" and "keep 1password in the menu bar" are enabled
• launcher seems to be having problems:

• running the launcher manually gives error message about cpu:

my cpu is intel, running sequoia on oclp

I'm sorry for the frustration. The team is aware of an issue where 1Password for Mac won't start at login on Intel-based Macs, Apple Silicon Macs aren't affected. The fix is already available in the beta version if you'd like to get your hands on it faster: Use 1Password beta releases

Once testing of the fix in the beta is complete, it'll be included in an update to the production version as soon as possible.

19,1 iMac, Sequoia15, 1P refuses to start at login. It's been happening all month. Bet my auto annual charge will work on the 30th.

The team hopes to fix the issue as soon as possible.

I don't have Touch ID nor do I use an Apple Watch.....

Without Touch ID or Apple Watch unlock, you'll need to enter your account password after restarting your Mac. This is done so that your account password isn't stored on the hard disk itself where other apps (or malware) might be able to find it. When using Touch ID or Apple Watch, 1Password is able to securely store the decryption secret in the Secure Enclave so that it can persist even between reboots: About the security of using Touch ID or Apple Watch to unlock 1Password for Mac

Thank you for the feedback, Dave. Let's hope a fix will be available soon.
