5 years agoSafari extension often loses connection to 1password
Since a while and also with the latest beta release 80400053 my 1password extension for Safari (15.1) often stops working.
It always looks like 1password was locked. When really locked it still red...

Something curious, though. I got a new Mac Studio, and was trying to figure out the best way to set it up. I made a Time Machine backup, but at first, I created a new user on the new machine, and then installed 1Password 8 and the separate Safari browser extension app up-front as part of bootstrapping the machine.
I didn't run into this issue for 2 whole days.
I have around 90% of my preferred app and system configurations saved as defaults write rules that I can just run on a new machine, reboot, and voila! But there are some new things post-Catalina that I haven't been able to track down defaults write rules for.
In the end, I ended up migrating my user profile over from my old machine via my Time Machine drive and Migration Assistant.app. Aside from having to deal with Homebrew x86 → Homebrew arm64 issues, I noticed that the browser extension timeout issue came back.
This leads me to believe that there is some file somewhere in ~/Library that is corrupted or needs to be reset in order to fix this.
I tried following https://support.1password.com/uninstall-1password/, but they haven't been updated for 1P8 yet. They also don't remove the iCloud data that 1P_Rob mentions in https://1password.community/discussion/126935/feature-request-secondary-1password-login.
I've also read https://support.1password.com/remove-1password-browser/, but they only cover the app and not the preferences, so no bueno.
