Unable to unlock 1Password in a "add to dock" web app in Safari
This discussion was created from comments split from: Safari Add to Dock Web App on Mac.
Thank you for following up. We are aware of an ongoing issue where users are unable to unlock 1Password for Safari in Safari web apps on the Mac. The issue occurs if 1Password is locked and you try to unlock 1Password from inside of the web app. An internal bug report is open in our developer's backlog to find a fix.
For the time being, the three best workarounds are:
- Unlock 1Password using the desktop app first and then open 1Password for Safari in the web app. Don't try to unlock 1Password from inside of the web app itself.
- Turn off 1Password for Safari's integration with the desktop app and unlock 1Password for Safari separately from the desktop app: Right click on 1Password in Safari > Settings > General > Turn off "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app".
- Use Universal Autofill to fill login credentials in Safari web apps using the Command-Backslash keyboard shortcut: Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac
I know that these aren't the best workarounds and hopefully a fix will be released in a future update as soon as possible.-Dave

ModeratorWhile Universal Autofill is great at filling your login credentials in Safari web apps, 1Password in the browser (the extension) gives you access to more features such as:
- Saving passwords in web apps.
- The use of the password generator and suggested passwords.
- Integrations with services like Fastmail and Privacy.com
- Filling non-login items such as credit cards and identities.
- And more!
I hope that helps. Hopefully the issue is resolved in a future update soon.
