MacOS: “1Password” would like to access data from other apps?
Hoping to understand what this permission is for. Thanks.
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.

Thank you 1P_Dave - this shouldn't be marked "solved" though until you have shared that information

Beware, irony ahead: Ah, got it - this is like celebrating a touchdown before crossing the goal line. But hey, as long as it looks like we won, who cares if we actually finished the play?
You should rewrite the software and introduce another topic. It definitively is 'not' the solution.
