1Password 8 on MacOS extremely sluggish / slow to respond

I have also experienced this problem several times now. Exactly how XianNewman describes it.

For me, it's unusable.

It takes 10-20 seconds for ⌘\ to respond, then another 10-20 seconds for the password to autofill. I'm using a 2021 Macbook Pro with M1 Pro and 16GB memory.

I've downgraded to 1Password 7 while I explore alternative password managers. Unfortunate, since I've used (and praised) 1Password since its infancy, and was about to upgrade to a Business subscription for my company.

I'm having this problem as well

Yes, same here. It's almost unusable.
I'm on 12.6 and have a 13-inch Macbook Pro 2020 16GB, 2gh quad-core i5.
It used to run well on 1password 7.

Same issue here on a 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Max 64 Go (macOs 12.6).
Near 15 seconds to autofill, and all Chrome windows freeze

Same here. Too slow on 'cmd + \'. I'm using iMac 2020, 64GB RAM, macOS 12.4.

That definitely doesn't sound right. I'd like to ask for a diagnostics report from your Mac so that we can investigate further:

I'm running MacOS Monterey 12.6 on a Mac Studio (M1 Ultra w/64GB) and if I hit "CMD \" from within Chrome OR Safari it takes 6 to 8 seconds for the 1password dialog window to appear (or for it to autofill the form). Is it possible to downgrade back to 1Password 7?

Hello parekh! 👋

I'm sorry to hear that 1Password 8 is running slowly on your Mac. Can you update macOS to version 12.6 to see if that might resolve the issue: Update macOS on Mac - Apple Support (CA)

If you're still seeing the same issue after updating and restarting your Mac then I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:
