1Password now using 286.8 mb of ram. I sent the diagnostic file as requested. 

How to duplicate issue? Simple: 

  1. Start safari
  2. screen shot how much memory web extension is using
  3. do not close safari
  4. check memory used every day
  5. you will see web extension using more memory every day until one day you try to log onto your Mac and you can't. 100% of memory is used and Mac is cacheing. Machine will run very slow until you're able to close safari. Eventually forcing a reboot of your machine to clear memory. 
  6. Rinse and repeat
