The new version of 1Password for your browser uses shortcuts very differently. You can read more about the changes in my post here.

As for native messaging between 1Password and beta versions of browsers, you'll want to make sure the proper native messaging host folders exist for any beta versions you have installed:

  1. In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder. Copy and paste the following path and press Return: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/
  2. Copy the file named com.1password.1password7.json to your desktop.
  3. Choose Go > Go to Folder. Copy and paste the correct path for your browser and press Return:
    • Microsoft Edge Beta: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge Beta/
    • Microsoft Edge Dev: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge Dev/
    • Microsoft Edge Canary: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Edge Canary/
  4. Open the folder NativeMessagingHosts or create it if it doesn’t exist.
  5. Drag the file named com.1password.1password7.json from your desktop into the NativeMessagingHosts folder.
  6. Restart your browser.

Let me know if you have any questions - I'll be happy to help.
