Hey @PTR,

When you clear Safari’s history, or other settings in the browser it may trigger the error message as you have seen. Allow me to explain briefly:

In Safari, the indexedDB data of 1Password for Safari, which contains all the settings and processes to establish 1Password’s functionality, also gets wiped out when Safari clears cache/history. This behaviour can also happen it you have “Block all cookies” enabled under Safari’s Settings > Privacy tab.

You should be able to close this tab and continue using 1Password. You can find out more information here: If you see "The 1Password browser extension needed to restart".

Let us know if you have any questions.
