Hi @rthiker,

As Tommy mentioned, we're looking into it.

For the moment, can you try the following to see if it will allow 1Password extension to unlock automatically in Chrome for you:

  1. Open Finder and select the Go menu > Go To Folder on top or press Command + Shift + G
  2. Copy and paste the following line: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts
  3. Press enter to go there. You should see a file called com.1password.1password.json, open it with your text editor
  4. On the "path": line and at the far right, you can see two MacOS folders in the path, remove one of the MacOS folder and save it. You should have this saved instead: "path": "/Applications/1Password.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/1Password Browser Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/1Password-BrowserSupport"
  5. Restart Chrome and 1Password extension should now unlock automatically with the main 1Password app.

If that works, repeat the same for Firefox but this time in step 2, copy and paste this path: ~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/NativeMessagingHosts.

Note: This workaround will last until the app or the Mac restarts; the app will rewrite the file on the first launch. A full fix is coming very soon.

I hope this helps for now. We'll get a new update out soon to fix this.
