Bug in Mac Safari extension: Save & Copy regenerates and copies a *different* password
The Save & Copy button in the Safari extension regenerates and copies a different password from the one being displayed. I've noticed this bug for the last several versions.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Click the 1Password icon in Safari (next to address field)
2. Click + Generate Password button
3. Click blue Save & Copy button
4. Paste saved password into TextEdit
5. Observe that the pasted password is actually a different password than the one displayed when clicking Save & Copy.
Workaround: Click the circular arrow icon to regenerate a new password before clicking Save & Copy.
1Password Version: 7.9.3
Extension Version: 7.8.7
OS Version: macOS 10.13.6

Hello @syncrasy,
I confirm that this is a known issue, and we have already resolved it in the new "1Password for Safari". However, this new 1Password does not work with the current 1Password desktop app, so I recommend waiting for the version released 1Password 8 before using it. However, if you are interested, you can go to Mac App Store > Search for "1Password for Safari" to download it and go here to give 1Password 8 a try.

I've been working with a 1Password Customer Support rep on a very similar problem, but it's not limited to the Safari browser extension. The problem occurs whenever 1Password mini is used, either in any browser (I found it in Safari and Firefox) or from the Mac top menu bar, regardless of which application was open.
I've discovered that, in addition to syncrasy's workaround of clicking the "open circle arrow," changing any of the password characteristics (type, # of characters, symbols, etc.) before clicking Save & Copy will avoid the glitch.
