Super high resource usage


I keep seeing a constant 50%+ CPU use from 1password. With it running, I'm getting +60ºC on my Apple Silicon machine.

I've submitted my Diagnostics to the team already.


1Password Version: 80700012
Extension Version: 2.3.3.beta
OS Version: macOS 12.3

    Hey folks! We've made some headway with improving this behavior in 1Password in your browser 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 Beta, so please make sure you're on the latest available version.

    Once you've updated, go ahead and give 1Password for Mac a complete restart either by force-quitting any remaining 1Password processes via Activity Monitor, or performing a quick reboot of your machine. Let us know if this fixes things for you! 💙

    Note: 1Password in your Browser 2.3.2 isn't yet available for Microsoft Edge or Safari.
