Hey @mwintermeyer

I'm sorry to hear you've bumped into this issue, and apologize for any interruption. I've got a method that usually helps to get communication between 1Password in the browser and the 1Password app back up and running. Here's the steps:

  1. Right-click the 1Password icon in the browser toolbar and click 'Settings'.
  2. Scroll down to "Integrate with 1Password app" at the end of General section and toggle it off.
  3. Scroll down to "Accounts & vaults".
  4. Sign out of your account and Sign in again.

After that, please give your computer a restart to ensure no pending process prevents 1Password from connecting with the browser. Once your computer turns back on, continue with the following:

  1. Open and sign into the 1Password desktop app.
  2. Then go ahead and re-open the web browser and turn on the "Integrate with 1Password app" option again.

I hope this helps. Let me know how things go! 🙂
