4 years agoSince upgrading to 1PW8, 1PW Safari extension no longer works... or even exists.
Until an hour ago I had a happy experience with integration between 1PW 7 and Safari. Since my unfortunate decision to upgrade, that is now gone. There is NO 1PW icon in my Safari toolbar, no Safari Extension, and worst of all, no functionality in the "1PW for Safari" that I assume is supposed to install a 1PW8 specific extension in Safari. Instead, it does NOTHING. Click the "Open Safari Preferences" button? Nothing. Doesn't even launch Safari. Go to Safari Preferences>Extensions manually? No 1PW extension there to turn on or off. I have quit and restarted 1PW8, Safari, and my M1 MacBook Pro. I'm out of ideas.
1Password Version: 8.7.0
Extension Version: N/A
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

You're not wrong, it's definitely not a frictionless experience. We're working with our development team to make this a quick troubleshooting step in the stable version of 1Password. If you're running the nightly version of 1Password 8 for Mac, it will already be available for you in the Help menu under Troubleshooting. It will look something like this:

Yep, that fixed my problem too. Thank you! Also, why is this necessary??
(I get why the 1P8 for Safari app is necessary. But this terminal thing seems really user-unfriendly, even if it's Apple's fault.)

Hi kevan_Dalby,
I'm sorry about the confusion you have. Unlike 1Password 7, there is no built-in extension that works in Safari for 1Password 8. The 1Password for Safari is what we need in Safari. So, we need to make sure the 1Password for Safari extension is enabled in the Safari Extensions list.
Here's a detailed guide on how to Get started with 1Password in your browser.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Jumping in, this solution seems to work for me as well but how can I tell that 1PW 8 for Mac is installed in Safari ? Also how do I create an auto login for a website as this new user interface is not at all intuitive as the previous?????

I am glad to hear it helped.
Noted. I think the team is working on something regarding a pinned message. Thanks for the suggestion.
