PSA: Extension going blank or unresponsive in Chrome? Here's what we know
Hey everyone! We've been tracking a recent Chrome change that’s causing the 1Password extension to go blank or become unresponsive after filling on certain sites, and wanted to share what’s going on. A change in Chrome 147 has introduced an issue with how the browser handles extensions and its back/forward cache. We have seen reports of this issue affecting other password managers too, so it’s not only 1Password. We are in direct contact with the Chrome team and they're working on a fix. We anticipate a Chrome update on Wednesday will resolve this problem, and we’ll keep you informed if that timeline changes. Brave and Edge users on version 147 will also be affected since they share the same Chromium engine. In the meantime, if the 1Password extension displays a blank screen or otherwise becomes unresponsive, fully quitting and reopening your browser should get things working again. Not ideal, we know, but it does the trick until the fix is rolled out. We'll update this post when the fix ships. If you're seeing this and want to follow along on the Chromium side, here's the bug report.
Zen Browser support for Desktop App link and Touch ID
Hi, I’ve noticed that the Zen Browser extension (Firefox-based) currently works only in "standalone" mode without the desktop app link. For comparison, I have tested this with the standard Firefox browser, and it works perfectly there. Since Zen is built on Firefox, it would be great to have this same level of integration for the desktop app and Touch ID authentication. Thank you!
1Password for Safari: excessive CPU usage
From time to time the 1Password web extension in Safari drains my MacBook Pro's battery; according to the activity monitor it's then occupying 100% CPU (only one core? don't know). Unfortunately I cannot really tell exactly *when* this happens, but I *think* it's when my Mac goes to sleep, for example when I'm away or close the lid, Safari is still running, and I come back later. Side effect: When unlocking 1Password via the menu bar icon, the extension in Firefox is directly unlocked too, but the Safari extension keeps being locked; I manually have to click on the button to unlock it. This keeps bugging me now for quite some time, and the only workaround I found so far is either deactivate and reactivate the extension in Safari settings or restart Safari. Deinstalling and reinstalling the application didn't help as far as I could tell. Has someone else seen this? I'm using * 1Password for Mac 8.12.10 (81210036) * 1Password for Safari 8.12.10.36 * macOS 26.4.1 * MacBook Pro M2
Disabling 1P on certain websites
I switched to 1P from LastPass a few weeks ago and something that's been driving me up the wall is I can't figure out how to disable autofill/prompting on certain websites. A great example is I use a virtual table top called Foundry via an online hosting solution called https://forge-vtt.com/. For whatever reason, when I load Foundry the 1P extension randomly offers to fill in my contact info in fields like the title of a journal page. I managed to get a "hide on this page" dialog in a right click menu but it does nothing. Please help! Chrome Windows 11
Passkey CR - Allow 1P To Scan QR Code
There are many times when I am browsing in some browser (like Safari, Edge, etc.) and the site recognizes that one or more passkeys have been created for the site and it pops up a prompt asking for to use a device (such as a phone, tablet, etc.) where some biometric authentication can be used to access the device's passkey. However, since I am saving my passkeys in 1Password, I am handcuffed at this prompt since there doesn't appear to be any way for me to use the passkey that is stored in 1Password for the site and scan the QR code. It seems like 1Password should be able to scan the QR code that the popup window presents and use the saved passkey for the site. I don't know exactly how this would be invoked. My guess it would be some option to use the passkey from some saved login entry. May you please pass this along to see what the developers think of this idea? If anyone else is interested in having this feature, please feel free to like/comment/watch. Thanks.
