How do I clear or disable the Quick Access "History"?
1Password for Mac 8.11.20.
How do I clear or disable the Quick Access "History"?
I am not sure if this is a new "feature" but I do not remember seeing it in the past. I find it quite annoying if it can't be managed or disabled.
Once upon a time it would only show matching entires for the website/app in question when opening Quick Access on Mac (CMD+Shift+Space), but now it seems to retain some sort of "history" of previously used entries. I would like to disable this! e.g. If I go to Google.com and open Quick Access, it would prompt a list of my Google Accounts. Now it just shows a random recently used list.
Help! (Please)

Thank you for the reply. There is currently a bug that prevents 1Password from reliably filling into Chromium browsers like Chrome. This bug is what is causing the "1Password can't verify that Google Chrome should have access to your item" message that you're seeing. That message should not be appearing for a supported browser like Chrome. Our development team is investigating the issue alongside our friends at Apple.
For the time being, these are the best workarounds for Chrome:
- Use 1Password in the browser (the browser extension) to fill your login information into Chromium browsers instead of using Universal Autofill: Get to know 1Password in your browser
- Use a non-Chromium browser like Firefox if you'd like to continue to use Universal Autofill. I know that this won't be possible for most people but I wanted to mention it just in case it helps.
Let me know if you have any questions.-Dave

Hey Dave,
Thank you for the welcome. Probably a good sign that I didn't have to join the community until now, despite being a 1P user for a few years!
So, you're on to something here. All of the items in the list were indeed linked to Chrome in 1P.
I have removed them all, and the one-by-one disappeared from (what looked like) a history.
I have now tried some more logins, and it looks like on my Mac, once you click "Allow Always" on a login, this automatically links that login to Chrome in 1P. In a number of cases it does not autofill if I just click "Allow Once", so I have been selecting "Always Allow" at some point.
1Password can't verify that Google Chrome should have access to your "----" item. Do you want to fill it anyway?
Allow Once
Always Allow
CancelWhat is the expected behaviour? Any ideas why I am being asked "1Password can't verify that Google Chrome should have access to"? And why does this then automatically update my 1P entries?
Full Disclosure: This is a recent/new Mac, so 1P etc. were all re-installed.
Thanks!
Brian

Hello 0x620x6dā! š
Welcome to the community! 1Password's Quick Access feature doesn't retain a history, instead it tries to suggest items that are relevant to the app or website that's currently active on your Mac.
Can you check to see if you might have accidentally linked the items that you're seeing to Chrome:
- Open and unlock the 1Password app.
- Find one of the items that you see incorrectly suggested in Quick Access when viewing Google.com.
- Check to see if Chrome is a linked app:
If it is then edit the item and remove Chrome as a linked app. Having Chrome as a linked app means that the item will be suggested anytime that you have Chrome open.
Let me know if you don't see Chrome as a Linked app in the items that you see incorrectly suggested in Quick Access.
