Safari Extension can’t connect to iOS app

benf

When attempting to use the Safari extension, I get the below message:

Could not connect to the 1Password App. Try unlocking again.

Issue is intermittent, and I’m able to access passwords by using the keychain? or iOS, native section without issue.

Is this a known issue? Any ideas?

1Password Version: 8.10.20

OS Version: iOS 17.2 (21C5046c)

Hello @benf! 👋

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It looks like 1Password for Safari is having trouble authenticating. Please try the following steps:

1. Fully close Safari on iOS.
2. Fully close 1Password on iOS.
3. Open and unlock the main 1Password app from your home screen.
4. Open Safari and go to any webpage.
5. Tap on the AA icon in the address bar.
6. Tap on 1Password in the menu.
7. Follow the prompt to unlock 1Password for Safari with your account password.

Does this resolve the issue or do you see the same message? I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Dave, I get to step 6 and get this error now:

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, I missed the note that you were running the iOS beta in your initial post. There is a known bug in the beta version of both iOS and macOS that our partners at Apple are investigating. For now please try the steps in this guide to workaround the issue:

• Clear your cache on iPhone – Apple Support

Let me know if that doesn't work.

edit: Clarity.

Hi @Dave_1P

I’ve cleared the cache for the last hour and tried to launch the extension shading via the AA menu.

I get the same “oops” error.

Would you mind sharing a link to the WebKit bug? I’m interested in tracking the issue with them.

I'm not personally aware of such a link but I've asked the team internally if there is one that we can share. If I do find a link I'll update this thread. 🙂

Clearing the cache has resolved the issue for everyone that I'm aware of, can you try clearing more than an hour? If that doesn't work then you might be running into a different issue that we'll need to investigate separately. Do you have access to update your device to iOS 17.2 beta 3 to see if that improves things?

I’m currently running bets 3 (iOS 17.2 (21C5046c))

I’ll try going back further and see how it goes

@benf

Sounds good. If that doesn't work then please let me know. 🙂

That still hasn’t worked.
