1Password for Safari slow

Does anyone else find the the new 1Password for Safari extension slow compared to the extension that was bundled with the 1Password 7 macOS desktop app?


1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.2.0-56.BETA
Extension Version: 2.0.6 (20170)
OS Version: macOS 11.4

    I've just started to try the early access version 8 on macOS today. Quite often I am seeing 'Loading ()' when I click the (1) in Safari toolbar. It can take up to 10 seconds for the (already logged in) vault/ui to show. It happens about 1 in 3 times, though the delay is quite variable.

    I've also noticed that the UI looks 'slow' to render - ie I can see the text repainting at times as focus shifts. Sometimes the whole window repaints. When I click on a password I see the right hand content/graphic momentarily draw. Moving up/down a list of passwords also has the highlighting lagging much more behind the mouse pointer.

    it's hard to pin it down though it 'feels' a bit sluggish (MBP 2016 TB 16GB, Big Sur 11.5.2, idling at <10% cpu), external monitor - 4K, USB-C

    @digitpass:

    Thank you for the clarification! I have tested it here and it seems normal to me (in Safari). Just to see if we can find some details about this, do you notice this also when 1Password is already unlocked, or mostly when it is locked?

    Sorry @ag_ana, I should have elaborated.

    It's most noticeable after clicking the 1Password icon - there is a delay before the window is displayed.

    Hi @digitpass!

    Can you give us an idea of what you mean by "slow" exactly? Also, when do you notice it slow down the most?
