Two machines, 2012 and 2018 MacBook Pros. 1P worked initially after upgrading to Mojave, but not now. There was a security update last week. Maybe that broke 1P.? Thank good 1P continues to work in iOS. But, desperately need it to work in MacOS.

Tschüss.

    Welcome to the forum, @US101Cyclist! I'm sorry for the trouble. Can you clarify for me a bit, however? Is 1Password not working on either of your Macs? Or only one of them? Can you tell me what specific version of 1Password for Mac and of macOS you're using on both devices, along with anything else you think is relevant? Thanks.

    Hi Lars, Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, it's not working on either of the Macs. Just downloaded a fresh copy of 1P 7.2.2 from the App Store. Same thing. Immediate crash. macOs X 10.14.1. 1P was working fine on both two weeks ago.

    I was about to do a clean install of the OS, then try again. But, then it occurred to me to open 1P on a third machine, 2010 Mac Mini OS X 10.13.6, 1P 6.8.8.

    Surprisingly, instead of opening, I got an ever repeating notification window "Verifying 1Password App." It never opened. I restarted the Mac Mini and it opened fine. Then, I deleted 1P 6.8.8, downloaded and installed 7.2.2 from the App store. It started fine, and after providing our family account password, all was fine.

    So, this is particular to the MacBook Pros. Let's see what happens with fresh OS.

    Same thing after fresh OS install. Tried it with copy of 1P downloaded from App Store (never even get the change in icon from download to open), and a copy downloaded directly from Agile Bits. Also tried 7.2.1

    Here is the beginning of the Console error log:

    I am having the exact same issue. The icon to access 1Password disappeared from both Safari and Chrome when I updated to Mojave. I went to the website and entered my email address and password and the sign in box stays gray. Help!!

    This really looks like a Mojave problem. It's happening now too with Things 3.7.4. I get exactly the same lines at the beginning of the Console report.

    @US101Cyclist - I'm starting to think along the same lines, as this isn't a problem we get commonly reported. It sounds as if macOS 10.14 (“Mojave”) may be corrupted and require re-installation. It might be worth un/re-installing 1Password 7 for Mac (and, I suppose, Things, though that's outside of the scope of what I'm qualified to advise you on), but if that doesn't solve or at least change things, then I'd say something in your upgrade to Mojave may have gone awry -- either that or you've got something else at the system level that's altering the bundles. That's what that error message is: a code-signing error. Unless you've been getting your software from dodgy pirate sites that have messed with the bundle (I presume you haven't :lol: ), you shouldn't be getting that at all.

    Welcome to the forum, @DennisH! So you're also having 1Password 7 for Mac crash immediately upon opening it, and you also get the codesigning error in the crashlogs?

    I installed a fresh copy of the OS, but did not do a complete "clean install," erase disk, install fresh OS, restore from Time Machine. I might try that. No software from pirate sites, and I run a full suite of virus, malware, filter and scanners. Everything clean. But, you did remind me that the only software installed on both machine recently was Microsoft Office for Mac - about the time this problem appeared. Hmmmm.

    @US101Cyclist - this sounds like something that's not confined to 1Password and not something I can effectively troubleshoot for you if you're having the issue with multiple apps. :(

    Problem persisted after macOS 10.14.2 update, but a Clean Install fixed the problem with both 1P and Things. Booted into Recovery Mode, erased disk with Disk Utility, installing fresh copy of macOS 10.14.2, then restored my files from Time Machine back-up. That fixed the problem on both MacBook Pros. I guess the message here is to follow the advice that's often been given but usually ignored. With macOS updates (at least the major ones) better to do a Clean Install instead of just running the updater.

    Cheers,
    Michael

    @US101Cyclist - We've been getting a few reports of strange behavior with Mojave, especially for those who had brought over previous system's setups via Time Machine. I'm glad to hear reinstallation seems to have solved the problem, but let us know if anything else should crop up. :) :+1:
