Data security concerns with 1Password extension
What does this message mean in Safari extension? Could you please clarify it. Thanks.
I'm very concerned about passwords, phone numbers, and credit cards could be breached if using 1Password extension.

It's Safari telling you what permissions the extension has. But you're already trusting 1Password with your most sensitive data like passwords so this should not be of any additional concern.

Hi @kennyt
I'm sorry if the message from the Safari extension got a bit confusing. Safari is telling you what 1Password can do/access. You know that 1Password extension can do this: when you change your password/access a new site 1Password reads what you're having as input on a password field. When you use the extension to log into a site, 1Password writes on the site, etc. This warning is important in case you download an app for... checking the weather and it turns out it requires those permissions, that would be fishy and you'd be thankful the Safari warns you about it! In this case, as @pervel mentioned, it's exactly what you want 1Password to do :chuffed:
Please let us know what you think about this and if you have any other questions that we can help you with!
