Crash in Chrome: "Click this balloon to reload the extension" [resolved in Chrome extension 3.9.21]
Running 1Password (build 32009) on Chrome I keep getting the message: "1Password Beta has crashed. Click this balloon to reload the extension." Any idea what's happening and how to stop it?

I'm sorry that you are having some trouble. Let's get it sorted out. The version of the main 1Password app probably isn't relevant to this. What versions of (1) Chrome, and (2) the 1Password Chrome extension?
What happens if you just remove the extension from Chrome and then reinstall the stable version of it?

I'm using Chrome Version 28.0.1500.29. Extension is 3.9.17.90. I tried removing the extension and reinstalling once and the problem reappeared. It's no great hassle clicking on the "balloon" each time I reactivate Chrome but I was getting a little concerned that maybe something untoward was going on. Thanks for looking into it.

You're using an unstable beta version of Chrome. Please try the current stable version of Chrome and let me know if you are having trouble in Chrome 27.

Huh. Didn't realize I was using a beta version. That took care of it. Thanks!

I am also getting this now. Chrome version 28.0.1500.71.
I have been using 1Password for a long time with no problems, but recently, passed couple of weeks, this started happening. It reports this error when I login.
Here's some info that may be relevant... I have automatic sign in into my Mac, then I start a bunch of applications on Login, then I have a script to run a sleep sleep command to lock the computer. Its so I can shutdown the Mac at night, then when I get into work in the morning I can login and all my apps are all up and running already. Saves a lot of time. So could something in this process be breaking 1Password?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem as the original poster; however, after clicking the balloon, it appears that the 1Password Chrome Extension is still working.

Please do email us a Diagnostics Report as requested. We're trying to track down the source of this and would love to have more data on the issue. It could help not only yourself but others as well. :)

Hi, I have this issue with the same version of Chrome, i.e 28.0.1500.71, and 1Password extension version 3.9.19.90. I have run the diagnostics tool and can send it to you for information to try and resolve this issue. Thanks.

Hi @khad. Having a similar issue, chrome 28.0.1500.71 and 1Password 3.9.19.90. Just generated the diagnostic report, and will send shortly. I typically see the issue when I am running a GoToMeeting (presenting or not - doesn't matter). I actually get logged out of OSX, and then have to log in, and re-start all the apps that were previously open.
Thanks!

Unless I am misunderstanding you, that sounds impossible. Do you mean that an extension crash in Chrome logs you out of your OS X user account without any interaction? Or do you manually log out and then back in to get things working? You can reply to these questions in your email so we have all the information in the same place.
Cheers!

I have been having the same issue for a couple of weeks now. I am using Chrome and the Chrome extension on Windows. I also use Chrome's single sign-in or whatever it's called to get the same extensions on my Mac, and I have no problems.
Anyhow, I am using Chrome 28.0.1500.95 m on Windows, and the 1password extension 3.9.19.90. I believe that both are up to date.
When I start my computer, I get a pop-up down by the Windows clock that says "1password extension failed ... click this balloon to reload it." If I forget to click that window or can't get to it in time, I have to manually reload it in Chrome before it shows up so I can use it.
Maybe it started when either Chrome or the extension automatically updated a couple weeks back.
Is there an AgileBits diagnostic tool for Windows? Happy to help figure this out.

Select Help > Diagnostics Report > Export to File from the menu bar in 1Password for Windows. Then attach the report to an email to us: support@ agilebits .com

I noticed that the extension only crashes on the first Chrome launch
after logging in. It doesn't crash when quitting Chrome and reopening
it.I then noticed that Chrome seems to be running already when I login.
It was news to me that Chrome adds itself to the list of Login Items.
After removing Chrome from the Login Items for my user, it doesn't
open automatically on logging in.
Now the extension doesn't crash anymore.Nonetheless, you should make your extension
robust enough so it can handle the being started on login use case.0 -
This is very strange news. I'll mention it to the team here. Thanks, @mdehlwes. In our experience it is actually related to extension syncing not starting on login, but we'll see if such a thing helps any other users. I'm wondering if it is just a strange coincidence in your case. In any event, I'm glad things are working well for you. We'll investigate further.
Cheers!

"I noticed that the extension only crashes on the first Chrome launch after logging in. It doesn't crash when quitting Chrome and reopening it."
I'm seeing the same thing with Chrome 28.0.1500.95 in OSX 10.8.4. I'll try to generate and send a diagnostic report later today.

Upon further testing, it does appear that @mdehlwes was correct. We've seen the problem resolve itself once Chrome was removed from the login items in the OS X user account.
Could that apply in your case, Brian?

That resolved my issue as well. Thanks.

Hmmm. The problem has returned, even though Chrome isn't on the list of login items.

Hi @mdehlwes,
If you've already emailed us, we'll work with you via email until everything is resolved so that we are not duplicating efforts or creating any confusion here in the forum. Or do you mean to say that you have not received a reply yet? If so, please PM me with the email address you sent it from. I'm not seeing anything in our entire support system from the email address you used to sign up for this forum, but we certainly want to help.
The quickest resolution I've seen is to switch to Chrome Canary where Google fixed this problem.

I get the same crash problem:
Chrome Version 29.0.1547.76
1 Password extension 3.9.19.90
Mac OSX 10.8.5
1password datafile shared in dropbox
When I reload the extension everything works fine. The problem s at Chrome startup only.0 -
Just removed Chrome for login items and it seems not to crash anymore.

Hi @jeangeorg,
I'm glad to hear that removing Chrome from the login items has fixed your issue. If you have any further issues, we'd be happy to help :)

I am having the same problem with OS 10.8.5 and Chrome 30.0.1599.69. Chrome is not in my log in items. This is a new development that has been happening since the last Chrome update.

Hi @VicG,
I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with Chrome. Since Chrome is not in your list of login items, I'd like you to try disabling extension sync in Chrome > Preferences > Settings > Advanced Sync Settings. Then remove and re-install all Chrome extensions.
Please let me know how this works for you!
