    Hello Pleonasm

    Thanks for following up with me. I appreciate it!

    I understand your concern. For users who regularly clear their browser's cache, this pop-up will continue to appear frequently.

    While I can't guarantee anything, I've logged your feature request internally to share it with the team. Our product team will review your feedback to assess its feasibility for inclusion in a future version of 1Password.

    Currently, you should be able to exclude extensions from being cleared when you clear your browser's history:

    1. Hold the Option key ⌥ while using Safari
    2. Click on History from the menu bar
    3. Select Clear history and Keep website data...

    • For some context, Safari has a unique behavior where clearing the history also clears out the extensions cache. In contrast, other browsers typically only clear the browsing history and leave extensions data intact.

    Lastly, please feel free to provide your feedback to Apple regarding this unique feature, as it differs from how other browsers operate: https://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

Hello Pleonasm,

My name is Zaid, and I am part of the 1Password Support. I'll be happy to help you.

This notification is generated by the 1Password for Safari app, which utilizes the browser's history to store user-specific information.

If you clear your browser's history or use a private tab, the notification may appear consistently because its settings are stored in the browser's history. Additionally, the indexedDB data (stored in "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/WebKit/WebsiteData/") of 1Password for Safari, which contains all the settings and processes to establish 1Password's functionality, will also be wiped out when Safari clears cache/history.

Do you encounter this notification every time you autofill with 1Password during a regular Safari session where you haven't cleared your browser's history?
