Sonoma 14 iMac constant fan and overheating
Hi.
iMac constant fan and overheating after upgrading to macOS Sonoma .
My only 3rd Party Apps are 1Password and 1Password Safari extension.
Does 1Password (Working in background) can cause overheating ?
As this software is the only one that I've added to macOS. ?
Just a question ...
Thanks.
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.20 (81020036)
Extension Version: 2.17.1
OS Version: Sonoma 14.1.1
Browser: safari

1Password for Safari is separate from the desktop app. You can temporarily turn it off in Safari's settings:
- Open Safari.
- Click on Safari next to the  in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Extensions.
- Turn off 1Password for Safari.
Is there anything in particular that makes you suspect that 1Password is the cause of the performance/heating issues?

Thanks for your reply.
Will it also close the 1P Safari extension? - 1P_Dave

Hello ronen! 👋
I'm sorry that your Mac is running into performance issues. I'm not seeing reports of the same issue from others nor am I see any overheating on my personal or work Macs and they have a lot of apps installed alongside 1Password.
Do you still experience overheating when you do the following:
- Right-click on the 1Password icon in the menu bar.
- Click Quit.
This will close 1Password completely and will give us a clue if the issue persists even if 1Password is closed.
