Hi pixelmachine!
Is this just me or a known issue?
It sounds like 1Password in Safari is having some issues connecting to the app in order to unlock in the browser. Could you try the following to see if it gets things working in Safari the way that they work in Chrome?
- Right-click the 1Password icon in your Safari browser toolbar and choose Settings.
- Under General, disable "Integrate with 1Password app".
- Fully quit 1Password app and browser.
- Restart the 1Password app and then open browser.
- Right-click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and choose Settings.
- Under General, re-enable "Integrate with 1Password app".
- Test things out with the extension.

In the beginning, the extension was a standalone tool and didn't have a way to connect with the app. However, this was not ideal for many users who liked using the extension and app together. To remedy this, we added a feature to allow the extension to communicate with the app. When that feature is enabled, the settings and unlocking mechanism is controlled from the app. That's you get that prompt to unlock from the app window.
We could do a better job with the UI here. So I'll leave some feedback about it to our developers. In the meantime, please let me know how things go with 1Password in Safari.
