Can't get 1PW extension for Safari to show

I bought a new MacBook Pro and set it up as a new computer. I downloaded 1PW 8 and it works fine. However, I have no Safari extension showing. When I go to Safari extensions it shows, it just doesn't...

When I try to start using 1PW in Safari (the text box that opens) it says "Finish Setup in Safari". When I click on that nothing happens. What now?

Please open it at least once and follow the directions being sure to allow it access to all sites. We need that permission to perform the following on your behalf.

  • 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.

There is no need to add 1Password for Safari to your login items or Dock. It only needs to be opened once for the initial configuration. From then on it can live silently in your Applications folder.

Try opening Safari > Settings > Extensions and complete the setup.
