Performance issues with 1Password for Mac 8.10.78 (desktop app)
I'm adding to this to avoid creating a new thread on what seems to be related. Mac OS 15.5 1Password 8.10.78, on various M series Macs. The app itself is incredibly slow. Even typing in any field tak...
Hello folks,
After investigating the issue, it was found that customers who are running into recent performance issues with the 1Password for Mac desktop app were all using the Intel-based version of 1Password on an Apple Silicon Mac.
While our installer will install the correct version of 1Password for your Mac, you might have ended up with the wrong version if you migrated the 1Password app to your current Mac from an older Mac. Using the Intel-based version of 1Password on an Apple Silicon Mac isn't supported and it can result in performance degradation.
Our team can help verify that you're affected by this issue and then help you move over to the correct version. Please create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

Thanks for sharing these details—it sounds incredibly frustrating to deal with such persistent lag, especially in a security-critical app like 1Password. Have you tried clearing cached data or reinstalling entirely? Sometimes residual files from updates can cause conflicts.
On a tangential note, performance hiccups remind me of how outdated dental equipment can slow down clinic workflows—which is why modern practices like https://dentallcy.com/dental-services/ invest in seamless digital systems for patient records and appointments. Smooth operations matter whether you’re unlocking passwords or checking teeth!
Hope 1Password’s team releases a fix soon—maybe their devs need a "tune-up" too! (P.S. Edge/Firefox working fine is a useful clue for their support team.)
