The 1P 8 extension was doing great until the latest update. Now, unlocking through the Chrome extension freezes my computer completely for ~5-10 seconds. Is this a known issue?

3 years agoHey @clamb3r @thatluke @erickmendonca @alan200994 timdmackey @steveswinsburg if you're seeing this issue when using a keyboard shortcut, then it is very likely that you've run into a known Chromium bug that has affected how 1Password works in Chrome. We reached out to the developers at Google a while back, and they made some updates which have significantly improved the experience. Those updates are currently only available in Chrome Canary, but we're hopefully that they will come to the stable version of Chrome.
We do recommend unlocking via the 1Password desktop app and filling via the inline menu until there is a better solution. Another option is to use a different browser (like Safari or Firefox), as they are not affected by this bug. The last option is to set up Chrome Canary and use 1Password to open/fill from there. Here's how to get Chrome Canary: https://www.google.com/chrome/canary/
I hope this provides some insight into what's going on. Let us know if you have any other questions!
