Since 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

    I'll pile on, the terminal command worked. Thanks!

    Just to confirm you've installed 1Password for Safari and it's visible in your Applications folder, and you've launched it at least once, correct? If so, let's try refreshing Safari's extension registrations. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Close all open web browsers.
    2. Open the Terminal app on your Mac:
    3. Paste the following into Terminal and then press enter to run the command: (command on one single line.) /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f -R /Applications/Safari.app
    4. Open Safari and try to enable 1Password for Safari again.

    I have the EXACT same problem and came here hoping to find a solution...

    I just updated from 7 to 8. I downloaded the extension from the MAS, and right off the bat it didn't work - clicking the button to open Safari Preferences did nothing. Going there on my own, I found no 1Password extension in the list of extensions, so I wasn't able to turn it on. Now I have no browser extension, which is a real pain.

    Anyone know how to get it to install? I am on an M1 if that helps.

    Since so many people need the Terminal command, please pin the instructions to the top of this forum.
    Thanks.

    Same problem, terminal fix worked for me too, but this a crazy bug that should not be there. Thanks for solution Jack

    Yes, that worked, thanks, although to your first question, no, because the Canadian App Store currently does not offer 1PW8. I downloaded it from your site, and it seems happy. Still, the rest of your instructions worked. Thanks again.

    Hi, I had the exact same problems as Tresy, and the Terminal command worked. I can now use 1Password for Safari again. Thanks!

    Hi @Tresy:

    I'm sorry to hear you're running into trouble here. Just to confirm, you've installed 1Password for Safari from the App Store, correct? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1password-for-safari/id1569813296?mt=12

    If you have, let's try refreshing Safari's extension database:

    1. Close all open web browsers.
    2. Open the Terminal app on your Mac: https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal/open-or-quit-terminal-apd5265185d-f365-44cb-8b09-71a064a42125/mac
    3. Paste the following into Terminal and then press Enter to run the command: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f -R /Applications/Safari.app
    4. Open Safari and try to enable 1Password for Safari again.

    Let me know how you get on with that.

    Jack
