    Hello folks, 

    I wanted to provide an update: macOS apps can contain several different components and a recent change to macOS resulted in all of an app's components being required to be manually added to an app's entitlement manifest rather than being automatically included so that those components can access 1Password's Group Containers folder. 

    If a 1Password app component (such as the updater) isn't in the manifest then you'll see a prompt asking you to give 1Password access to data from other apps. Our developers have previously resolved this issue by adding the updater to 1Password's entitlement manifest but it looks like other components may still need to be added and the team will investigate this further. 

    For the time being, you can click "Deny" when prompted without running into issues. If you clicked "Allow" in the prompt, 1Password was not granted access to data from any other apps and there's no other action that you need to take at this time. That being said, if you'd like to revoke this permission you can uninstall and reinstall 1Password and then click "Deny" if you see the prompt again in the future.
