1Password does not work with Safari profiles
The app is pretty much unusable with Safari if you use profiles. Sometimes it won't unlock, sometimes it will only unlock with the icon in the browser bar, sometimes it will unlock but nothing will fill. It may work in one profile, and fail in others. Much of the time I have to open the 1Password app, search it for the site I'm on, and copy and paste the password into Safari. It works fine in other browsers.
1Password Version: 8.10.27
Extension Version: 2.21.0
OS Version: macOS 14.4
Browser: Safari

I'm sorry that you're seeing the same issue when using 1Password in multiple Safari profiles. The next time that the issue occurs, please use the instructions in my post above to send in a console log and the support team can advise further for your specific situation. 🙂

I have exactly the same issue. I have already sent console logs to you (LJU-87479-255)

Adding another user to this. I use one profile for personal things and one for work things, as I think most people do, and 1Password doesn't work. I'm fine with the workaround for now but it really diminishes the value and user-experience of 1Password vs. Safari Passwords and other password managers that you can't use Touch ID or other unlock options.

Yes, this has been a long going issue and really impacts the ease of use. The work-around works for now but would be nice to have this resolved asap.

I too can chip in with the complete lack of functionality when using Safari Profiles. What's the workaround suggested?

I too have ben having this issue with 1Password and profiles for a while. It's a big issue. Has there been any progress in resolving the issue? Is there a temporary workaround?

THIS is why 1Password has been horrible in Safari all these months while working flawlessly in Chrome and Firefox? Please come up with a fix for this. For now I've decided to stop using Profiles because I need the functionality of 1P.

With the arrival of the new iOS 18 password app from Apple, one could wonder whether you need 1Password (provided you work on Mac's)

clako I work in a cross-platform environment, and even though the Apple password management app will be available online via iCloud.com, 1P integrates pretty seamlessly in a mixed environment, so I plan to continue using it.
As an aside, when iOS or macOS prompts me to save a Password in the keychain, I still do it, even if I also have it in 1P. I treat it like an insurance policy.

I will add to my previous statements. 1Password seems to sort of be working in safari on my Mac OS, intermittently. For example to respond to this thread, I went to the login page, clicked on the 1P icon in the username field. 1P prompted me to unlock 1P (finger print on my Macbook), and it filled in the login info. Other times over the past few weeks 1P will fail to unlock, or a "Reload" button will popup in the Safari Extension. Sometimes it will not correctly fill in a password and I have to copy and paste (the URL is correct so it should do so).
It feels like it is more stable and getting better, but inconsistent. I don't have time to figure out when it works and when it doesn't and under what circumstances. I also don't think it matters what profile I am in as it seems to work across all of them, or not work depending on the situation.
