1Password for Safari not communicating with the desktop app [FIXED]
Both the extension and the app are updated and at current versions.
Have tried various combinations of quitting browser + app, and toggling / untoggling the "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app" and "Connect with 1Password in the browser" settings in the extension / app, respectively.
Have toggled on and off the "Allow in the background" setting in System Settings->General
Still getting "Status: Problems connecting 🟠. Please make sure the 1Password app is unlocked." 100% of the time when using the extension, and no option for TouchID
BEYOND frustrated at this point. I just want to use TouchID on my browser extension!
1Password Version: 8.10.40

When I log in to 1password and unlock it with touch id on a mac, the safari extension is not correctly detecting the desktop application. I tried to do it from the google chrome browser and in this browser it correctly detects the desktop application, so it is not an error on their part.

I am wondering why opening (unlocking) the 1PW app doesn't automatically cause the Safari plug in to be unlocked (the icon next to the web site name at the top of the Safari window still has a lock on it). And vice versa. Is this the normal behavior, or do I have some setting not set correctly? Seems to me that this is unnecessarily cumbersome. Thanks

Same thing just started happening to me on two different Macs. Clearly a 1PW but that needs to be fixed quickly!!!

Hi VirgilBoy ,
The Apple Watch unlock feature is from the 1Password desktop app. Due to the connection issue I mentioned above, we cannot utilize Apple Watch to unlock 1Password in Safari currently. Sorry about the trouble.
Once the connection issue is fixed, you should use Apple Watch to unlock again.

Hi FoxFifth,
We have identified the connection issue happening between the 1Password for Safari web extension and the 1Password for Mac desktop app. Currently, 1Password for Safari has to be unlocked separately from the desktop app due to the issue. I'm sorry about the inconvenience and confusion it caused.
Our developers are looking into the issue so hopefully, a fix will be patched soon. Meanwhile, the connection should be working in other supported browsers, such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
Additionally, you can adjust the auto-lock settings for the 1Password for Safari web extension under the "Security" section after you unlock 1Password in Safari:
