Launch 1Password at Login

kappabear

Hi there,

Since doing a clean install of my OS, and reinstalling all of my apps, 1Password doesn't automatically start at login. Checking Users & Group -> Login Items, I don't see anything listed for 1Password. Checking the app itself, I don't see anything to launch at login. Should I add 1Password to Login Items, or is there a Helper app that needs to be added? How do I set 1Password to launch at login?

Thanks.

Hi @kappabear!

With the 1Password for Mac app open, please right-click on its icon in the Dock and select Options > Open at Login.

Right, but that will cause the 1Password application to launch at login. As I recall, but may be mistaken, 1Password would launch in the background and always be ready when I needed it, without actually being active on my Dock, but on my Menu Bar. That's what I'm hoping for.

Gotcha. Thanks @kappabear. I think you may be thinking of the
1Password > Preferences > Browsers > Always keep 1Password Extension Helper running
option, which is enabled by default. Do you have that option enabled?

Please let me know.

Hi Ben,

Yep, I absolutely do, but it doesn't appear to be working. If/when I restart my computer, 1Password has to be manually launched (using Alfred) before I can use any aspect of the application. I thought that I thought that I could simply press Command-Option-Backslash and have access to 1Password, without having had to previously launch the 1Password app.

Cheers

That should indeed be the case. Please try restarting your computer, and if you are still experiencing this, generate a diagnostics report. Please generate the report before working around the issue by launching 1Password.

These instructions will walk you through generating the report:

Sending Diagnostics Reports (Mac)

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support+forum@agilebits.com.

With your email please include:

• A link to this thread: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/558735/#Comment_558735
• Your forum username: kappabear

That way I can "connect the dots" when I see your diagnostics in our inbox.

You should receive an automated reply from our BitBot assistant with a Support ID number.  Please post that number here so I can track down the diagnostics and ensure that this issue is dealt with quickly. :)

Once I see the diagnostics I'll be able to better assist you. Thanks very much!

@Ben, thanks. Will do, but it may be a while as I just restarted Saturday, and have a large backup underway.

Cheers!

Ben

Understood. :)

Ben, I restarted the computer and 1Password appears to be working as expected. Very strange. If it starts malfunctioning again, as it had, I'll be sure to follow your instructions above.

Cheers!

It's an old trick, but a good one. Thanks @kappabear.
