Unlocking Desktop, doesn't unlock browser extention
I'm not sure if this is supposed to work or not. The messaging is confusing IMO.
In the desktop app > Preferences > Browser
There is an option that says "Connect with 1Password in the browser" and it says "When you connect the 1Password app and browser extension, it makes it easier to unlock and fill your passwords.
However, I don't think this does anything.
Everytime I open my browser the 1Password extension is locked even though the 1Passowrd app is unlocked.
1Password Version: 8.2.0-56.BETA
Extension Version: 2.0.5 Beta
OS Version: macOS 11.5.2

Thank you for update, @jacquessauve!
I need to look through the changelog. I am not sure if we did anything about it in the new beta or it was because of the app restart during the update 🤔
[EDIT]: Not seeing anything about it in the release notes. It could be somehow related to the app restart.

LOL, @jacquessauve. I should probably change the avatar, it looks nowhere close at 50 years 👴
LLOL! Still, kind of cool - I've been using 1Password for over a decade, and love it. Even propose it to my customers:

Thank you, Jacques! Nothing is better than the kind words from the long-time customer ❤️
I am glad to see you are using Safari Technology Preview, 1Password works much better on it.
Thanks for the update roustem!
Ok, so technically the browser extension IS unlocking now, BUT it still shows as locked. until you click it. At which time it doesn't actually launch 1Password browser extension. It changes the icon to show unlocked. You have to click it again.
Seems like it should show as unlocked, and clicking should launch it.
EDIT:
Apparently it just takes a few seconds. :-)
All is good!
Glad to hear that 1Password for Safari unlocked properly in the end. 😊 We're currently tracking the issue regarding the delay in the unlock message being sent from the 1Password desktop app to 1Password for Safari. I'll let the team know you ran into it!
Thanks for giving the Early Access a try, and please do continue to report issues as you come across them. ❤️

Just so you know, I tried to fill up a field in Safari today. I was asked to unlock (I have browser integration on). I entered my password in 1Password 8.4.0-2.BETA and it took 21 seconds after that before the browser extension (v2.1.3) showed that I was unlocked and gave me a login option in the field… That’s a loonnnggg time.
