1password Safari extension not working

Software

I searched here on and on the wider internet and cannot find a solution. My 1password extension in Safari is not working. There was one suggestion for pasting code into a terminal window and that didn’t work. If you have any ideas, I would appreciate them.

In Settings for Safari, you have to grant permission to the 1Password extension, like so:

Thanks.
This is in the Mac app. It works great on my iOS devices

Remove all your extensions, clear your cache, and quit Safari. Then restart Safari, reinstall only the 1Password extension and test it.

(When I have no clue what the problem is, I like starting over as close to default as possible). Good luck.

The 1password safari extension wasn’t working for me on my mac, and when I googled, I fixed it by following this advice from the 1password forums:

  • am sorry for the trouble. Usually, when 1Password does not connect with Safari, we can try these quick steps and it should put things back on track most of the time.
  • Right-click on the 1Password mini icon at the far right corner of the menu bar > select “Quit 1Password Completely” > Quit all browsers > Restart your computer > Try 1Password again.

I didn’t expect it to work …. But it did.

I admit I uninstalled the 1Password for Safari extension and just use the 1Password extension itself in Safari.

Bit confused why there are 2 but the “general” one works consistently.

You mean the one the pops open in the password window? Yes, that seems to still work. I tried to uninstall the extension but it said that I needed to uninstall the entire program . .weird.

I think I just deleted the 1password for safari program (?) or maybe it was an extension, not safari nor 1password itself.

9

In any event, at the least disable the 1password for safari extension in the check box in Safari > Preferences > Extension

I checked, yes you also have to uninstall the 1password for safari application.

thanks for your help!

When the 1Password app and its extensions are updated, I find that it no longer works in Safari until I log out and then log back in. Rebooting, of course, also works, but that’s overkill, just logging out and logging back in fixes it. Give that a try.

I use 1Password more on my iPad Pro and I find the extension rarely works. It will bring up a very short list of logins, and none of them are relevant to the site I am on.

I end up keeping 1P in split view hidden off to the right side of the screen.

My 1Password for Safari app is becoming a pain the rear.

I enter my password, I see the green checkmark (correct Password, yay) and 1Password still remains locked.

I have no issues with 1Password in Firefox and I have no issues with 1Password (standalone desktop app) itself. I only I could have the old-fashioned Safari extension back without this fancy app with an average 2-star-rating in our local App Store…

The “debugging” stuff works eventually, but it is a pain having to do this almost daily (manually disabling and enabling stuff, reinstalling the app, clearing caches and what not.

So, MPU to the rescue:

I cannot confirm that it only does not work after updates, but logging out of my Mac and logging back in again resolves my issue every single time without the need of doing more dramatic stuff. Unfortunately I often end up being locked out again after a few minutes. I need to do the whole logout dance again in order to resolve the issue. I have disabled “automatically lock 1Password” for now in the 1PW for Safari app in order to be able to use it at all in Safari.

I wonder what is going on here…

The endless need to log in again and again to the extension is so annoying. I turned off the “Automatically Lock 1Password” setting in the Security tab of the 1Password extension’s settings. Yes, it opens me up to some risk, but I can live with that.

(The main 1Password app and the extension have independent auto-lock settings.)
