1password mini not starting after boot

Hello @kecinzer,

The diagnostic report may not help much as we don't query launchd which is what controls launching of 1Password mini. There are a few things we can look into though.

1. Do you have more than one copy of 1Password visible on this Mac? Basically if Spotlight can see more than one copy of 1Password for Mac there is no guarantee the right copy of 1Password mini will be launched and that causes a whole load of quirky behaviour. You want to keep a single copy of 1Password in your /Applications/ folder and make sure your Desktop, Downloads folder and any external or other partitions don't have a copy. Sadly Spotlight doesn't favour /Applications/ and often will launch a copy in a completely different location.
2. Another possibility is the entry of 1Password mini in the launchd database needs reset. One way to do this is to open 1Password's preferences and in the General tab uptick the checkbox for Always keep 1Password mini running and quit 1Password. It will ask for confirmation in a dialog titled Enable 1Password mini? - click the Do not enable button. Launch 1Password and tick the checkbox again. This will cause 1Password to first remove the 1Password mini entry from launchd and then re-add it.
3. The third possibility I'm aware of only happens in El Capitan but you wouldn't be able to launch 1Password at all if this is the case. The issue is the quarantine flag isn't being properly removed and so OS X refuses to let 1Password mini launch. Assuming you have 1Password in your /Applications/ folder then the following command in a Terminal window should remove the flag. The terminal command is xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine /Applications/1Password\ 5.app

So we've covered the three key causes of 1Password not launching properly. Do any of these help? If I've been too terse in the explanation of any or all please do say and I can expand where required. Please do keep us updated.

Ouch! that's a fairly big step and I'm sorry you felt it was necessary @kecinzer, especially as you had wished to avoid it. Of course now it's working which was always the end goal (albeit preferably with a less radical solution). Can I ask, were any other applications also misbehaving that prompted the decision to go with a clean start or was it just 1Password but you rely on it so heavily you felt you had no choice?

Hi @kecinzer,

I'm very glad to hear that a clean installation resolved your issue, but I also agree with @littlebobbytables, that is a lot of work!
