Dear Dave,

I have tried to follow your steps but am still in big trouble.

I wish I could send screen shots.

Here are my responses:

As a first step, follow the steps in this guide to turn off the built-in password manager in all of your browsers on the Mac:

Turn off the built-in password manager in your browser

DONE
This will prevent conflicts with the Apple Passwords app. Next, make sure that 1Password for Safari is installed:

Once 1Password for Safari is installed, try to fill login credentials again using these steps: Get to know 1Password in your browser - Fill logins and other items

I DON'T UNDERSTAND "TRY TO FILL LOGIN CREDENTIALS AGAIN?" Surely this does not mean I have to re-enter all my passwords again?

ISSUES:

  1. When I try to login to some of my favourite sites, my credentials are blank or I am asked to open 1Password, which is already open. So a complete fail. When moving to other sites, I Ama agin asked to open 1Password.

  2. When I open 1Password I am presented with two login options: 1Password Account (Roger Bayliss) and simply 1Password. Which one do I use?

  3. The program is very slow to load and open, way longer than before. And it is 'sticky.'

  4. Opening some websites is OK - but mainly not.

  5. In Safari/settings, I have two installed options. One is "1Password", the other is "1Password for Safari." Do I need to click both? I have also ticked "Allow in private browsing."

  6. The program is not working on my iPhone.

As you can imagine, having one of my most valued and productive programs go awry due to the Apple program is simply awful. I am doing my best and do hope you can help me regain normal operation, as well as my sanity.

Thank you.

Roger

PS Screen shots would really help.
