Hey @Oroborus,

Thank you for the update, just to clarify 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.

I hope this helps to clear things up!
