4 years ago1Password for Safari slow
Does anyone else find the the new 1Password for Safari extension slow compared to the extension that was bundled with the 1Password 7 macOS desktop app?
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.2.0-56.BETA
Extension Version: 2.0.6 (20170)
OS Version: macOS 11.4

Hi @digitpass!
Can you give us an idea of what you mean by "slow" exactly? Also, when do you notice it slow down the most?
- Former Member
Sorry @ag_ana, I should have elaborated.
It's most noticeable after clicking the 1Password icon - there is a delay before the window is displayed.

@digitpass:
Thank you for the clarification! I have tested it here and it seems normal to me (in Safari). Just to see if we can find some details about this, do you notice this also when 1Password is already unlocked, or mostly when it is locked?

I've just started to try the early access version 8 on macOS today. Quite often I am seeing 'Loading ()' when I click the (1) in Safari toolbar. It can take up to 10 seconds for the (already logged in) vault/ui to show. It happens about 1 in 3 times, though the delay is quite variable.
I've also noticed that the UI looks 'slow' to render - ie I can see the text repainting at times as focus shifts. Sometimes the whole window repaints. When I click on a password I see the right hand content/graphic momentarily draw. Moving up/down a list of passwords also has the highlighting lagging much more behind the mouse pointer.
it's hard to pin it down though it 'feels' a bit sluggish (MBP 2016 TB 16GB, Big Sur 11.5.2, idling at <10% cpu), external monitor - 4K, USB-C

I have the same issue: after clicking the extension icon in the Safari toolbar the overlay consistently takes ~2 seconds to start animating in. I have 1Password 8 installed, and the delay seems consistent if 1Password is locked or unlocked. I don’t see an associated CPU spike so I’m not sure what’s causing the delay.
This is on an M1 MacBook Air running the latest versions of 1Password 8 and the 1Password for Safari.

Yes, this was one of the multiple contributing factors pushing me back to 1password 7.

@ag_ana
Was there a company memo issued to reply to everything with "It works fine for me?" Like, multiple people are reporting something, yet because you claim to not be able to reproduce it, you dismiss it?

I have tried it as well it is very slow to launch and will take over 20 seconds sometimes. I am on a 2020 Intel Mac with no resource contention. Also running the latest version of 1password 8

I have noticed exactly the same issue, but it only happens in Safari. It is normal in Firefox and Chrome.

I am also seeing this in Safari just like @Commandor is.
It takes around 3 seconds to open after either clicking the icon or using command + shift + x2020 Macbook Air M1

1Password 8.2.2-6.BETAI am trying out 1Password 8 to check to see what the fuss is about.
But understand Beta = not ready for general use. Just hoping some of the other problems I am seeing get squashed before February (my renewal).
