1Password Families for Mac will no longer Auto-fill in Safari

One other thing, which might have something to do with this issue... For about a month, I have been randomly getting a pop-up error message from 1Password, which says...

"The database was terminated.
The database was unexpectedly terminated and may have become corrupt.
1Password in the browser was reinitialized on your behalf.

• Please review your settings for 1Password in the browser

One more thing...

As I mentioned in my original post, this is only a problem when I use the Safari browser to log-in to my Certified Federal Credit Union account; if I use the Google Chrome browser, when I click the 1Password in-page icon, I get the dropdown menu with my log-in choices, I then select mine, and it auto-fills perfectly.

Update: I just discovered that on my computer, the 1Password icons also do not work when trying to log-in to the 1Password Support Communities website (https://1password.community/entry/signin?Target=?Target=), so this problem affects multiple websites; not just the Certified Federal Credit Union website. This works fine on my wife's computer, however.

Hi Steph,

Thanks for your detailed response! Here are the answers to your questions…

• As for Certified Federal Credit Union, it seems strange that you are able to fill your credentials in Chrome but not in Safari. (Actually, it would make perfect sense ...if Keychain was indeed causing a conflict... since Safari has the Keychain feature, and Chrome does not. The reason I hesitate to disable Keychain, is that it sometimes works faster than using the 1Password icon, and in the rare case where 1Password does not auto-fill, Keychain often does. But the reason I posted about this problem, was that Keychain never caused any conflicts on my computer, until the latest update, and more importantly, my wife has the exact same computer model, software versions, and settings as I do - with Keychain enabled - yet she has no conflicts whatsoever; everything auto-fills perfectly on her Mac in Safari. So my problem either has something to do with a setting that I may have missed, or something being corrupted; not a conflict between Keychain and 1Password.)

• Can you confirm it is just this specific website you are having trouble with in Safari? Are there any others? (I posted earlier on 6/12/23 that, “… the 1Password icons also do not work when trying to log-in to the 1Password Support Communities website.” So yes, the problem does occur on other websites besides the Certified Federal Credit Union one.)

• I'm not sure if the issue you are referring to from the 'What's new' section is relevant to this one as this seems to be more website specific. You may no longer be able to see this update here because once you have read it it has now been dismissed. (In fact, the “What’s New” list does NOT disappear; it is always available. Only the line, "Fixed an issue that could cause nothing to happen when clicking an in-page password suggestion” disappeared, which is strange.)

• I’d like to provide some detail on the message you are seeing in Safari. When you clear Safari’s history, or other settings in the browser it may trigger the error message as you have seen. In Safari, the indexedDB data of 1Password for Safari, which contains all the settings and processes to establish 1Password’s functionality, also gets wiped out when Safari clears cache/history. This behaviour can also happen it you have “Block all cookies” enabled under Safari’s Settings > Privacy tab. (The reason I posted about the “The database was terminated” error message in Safari, was that it only recently started appearing, despite the fact that I have not changed any of my Safari settings. I often clear my Safari search history, and still the error message has not appeared until recently. I also do not have “Block all cookies” enabled in Safari, which you said could cause the problem. So why would clearing Safari search history suddenly start causing this error message, when it never did in the past? It creates a confusing and usually unnecessary pop-up for the user, and if you have to restart your browser and sign-in to your 1Password account again, that was never necessary in previous updates. Isn’t this something that should be addressed in a new update?)

Thanks again,

David

OK, the 1Password “The database was terminated” error message just popped up, after I submitted a question to a company via their website; so this is a recurring, annoying problem, and it is not related to me clearing my Safari search history, because I have not done that today. So far, the pop-up intermittently appears when I close Safari, when I close a webpage, when I bookmark a website, and when I submit a question on a website.
