1Password TeamHi Richard @RNRNRNRN1717,
Great question and kudos for being so diligent about your security! It sounds like those are warnings from Safari regarding the 1Password browser extension. We request those permissions to accurately match websites with your items, identify which fields need to be filled, and fill your data. As such, those permissions are necessary for autofill to behave as fluidly as possible and I do recommend granting them.
I'll share some links to our website that have more details about our browser extension permissions, privacy, and security in case you want more information:
- About 1Password browser permissions
- About 1Password and your privacy
- About the 1Password security model
The choice is ultimately yours though and I'm happy to explore alternative ways to use 1Password to fill your data. Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in or if you have any questions. 🙂
