PSA: Extension going blank or unresponsive in Chrome? Here's what we know

Hey everyone! We've been tracking a recent Chrome change that’s causing the 1Password extension to go blank or become unresponsive after filling on certain sites, and wanted to share what’s going on.

A change in Chrome 147 has introduced an issue with how the browser handles extensions and its back/forward cache. We have seen reports of this issue affecting other password managers too, so it’s not only 1Password.

We are in direct contact with the Chrome team and they're working on a fix. We anticipate a Chrome update on Wednesday will resolve this problem, and we’ll keep you informed if that timeline changes. Brave and Edge users on version 147 will also be affected since they share the same Chromium engine.

In the meantime, if the 1Password extension displays a blank screen or otherwise becomes unresponsive, fully quitting and reopening your browser should get things working again. Not ideal, we know, but it does the trick until the fix is rolled out.

We'll update this post when the fix ships. If you're seeing this and want to follow along on the Chromium side, here's the bug report.
