    Hello folks! 

    Our developers have released improvements to how 1Password communicates with Safari profiles in the latest versions of 1Password for Safari. Please make sure that you're running the latest versions of both macOS and 1Password for Safari: 


    If you're still seeing issues with the latest version of 1Password for Safari and macOS then I'd like to ask you to create a new diagnostics report from 1Password in your browser so that the team can identify whether you're running into a known issue and help further:

    Send a diagnostics report (browser extension)

    Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support@1password.com

    With your email please include:

    • A link to this thread: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/1password-does-not-work-with-safari-profiles/92139?topicRepliesSort=postTimeDesc

Just for completeness ticket #XIJ-47266-571

Based on the additional details you shared, I can confirm that you're running into a known issue we're tracking with 1Password for Safari on multiple profiles. I've personally ran into this issue myself and I completely understand any frustration this may have caused. I can assure you our developers are investigating the issue and actively working with our friends at Apple to come to a resolution. We hope to release a fix in a future update as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I can suggest a temporary workaround to either restarting Safari or toggle 1Password for Safari off and on again to re-establish a connection with the 1Password desktop app.

Another workaround is to run 1Password for Safari independently from the 1Password desktop app. However, you wouldn't be able to unlock the extension through the 1Password desktop app/Touch ID feature and you will need to unlock it separately.

However I do get the worry that is my data now only in the cloud or is it still in a database on my computer that I can backup.

And obviously if you are offline this workaround won't work
