MacOS Chrome Extension keeps opening endless login tabs

1Password for Mac 8.7.0 on Chrome 101.0.4951.54 (Official Build) (x86_64), latest extension

I cannot use the 1Password Chrome Extension as it keeps opening endless sign-in (login) Tabs. I had to force kill my browser and hack my way around to stop it from opening these new tabs. Also, before that I wasn't able to click anything when generating new passwords (the "suggest" prompt appeared but it wasn't clickable), and when generating a new password manually via the extension it didn't copy in order to paste.

I moved everything over from F-Secure as their password manager is becoming a weird mess of Norton-style security theatre and clickbait. But at the moment 1Password looks the same to me, despite paying for both. Whatever I do I have to click 5 times between dozens of options when all I want to do is to generate and save passwords and not use Chrome - but it looks like all password vendors beg users to please just use Chrome and leave them alone.

1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: Latest
OS Version: macOS 11.6.5 (20G527

browser extension

    Hey @alarmhonk

    Thanks for reaching out to us here. I'm sorry you've bumped into this issue, and apologize for the inconvenience.

    This is a known issue that has to do with a specific flow using two-factor authentication with 1Password. Our development team is aware, and is working to implement a fix as soon as possible. I've gone ahead and added your experience and feedback to that issue as well.

    In the meantime here is a workaround to stop the infinite loop:

    1. Right-click the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar and click 'Settings'.
    2. In the General section of the Settings screen, turn off "Integrate with 1Password app".

    I realize it may not be an ideal workaround, but we hope to have thing sorted out soon. Thanks for your patience.

    Let me know if you have questions! 🙂
