Browser extension for (Brave, Chrome, Firefox) no longer integrates with 1Password app (no Touch ID)
As of today, my 1password extension for Brave, Chrome and Firefox no longer seems to connect to the 1Password app on my Mac.
I now need to use my password instead of Touch ID for opening the extension and when you want to add a new item or edit an old item, the browser opens an edit window in another tab instead of opening an overlay through the 1password app. I'm also not automatically logged in when the 1Password app is already open and unlocked.
I've tried to toggle both the "Integrate with 1Password app" setting in the browser as well as the "Connect with 1Password in the Browser" a couple of times, but that does not help. In Brave I reinstalled the extension as well. Again, no resolution. I can see that the 1Password helper is running in the Activity monitor.
What has happened? What am I missing? I hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction. Thanks!
1Password Version: 8.9.14 (80914009)
Extension Version: 2.6.0
OS Version: 13.1 (22C65)
Browser:_ Brave v1.47.186

Instead of manually updating the json file, one can do following terminal command for a quick fix (Chromium browsers, e.g. Google Chrome, Brave etc).
One could do same for Firefox by updating the json path with the one used by FF's extension.sed -i '' s'/MacOS.MacOS/MacOS/' ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/com.1password.1password.json
then restart browser.What the one-liner does is it would in-place update the specified file by replacing the MacOS/MacOS bit with MacOS. It does not have any effect on a working file.
Thx! Solution from @mashuma worked for me.

Persistent Workaround?
All... please be guided by what the 1Password team says, as they are the authority, but I think I have found a simpler more persistent fix until a patched version appears.
I just opened a terminal window, went to /Applications/1Password.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/1Password Browser Helper.app/Contents/MacOS
cd /Applications/1Password.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/1Password\ Browser\ Helper.app/Contents/MacOS
then I created a symbolic link:
ln -s . MacOS
This allows the pathname with the "double MacOS' in it to work and the fact that the config file gets overwritten by starting 1Password makes no difference.
I think you will find it is a more persistent fix to the problem until it is patched.

Stopping me from what? Are you confusing me with someone?
- Former Member
eastwest No one is stopping you, but LastPass has several breaches with stolen customer passwords. One recently if you missed out on the news.

Same issue here. MikeT's json file fix worked for me, but I'd just like to point out that I'm getting a little frustrated with recent updates to 1Password. I've had more issues with 1Password since updating to 8.x than in the previous 6 years of using the product. While all issues have so far been addressed eventually, it seems like a lot more bugs have been slipping past QA recently and quite frankly I do not believe v8 was ready for prime time when released. I've felt like I've been beta testing ever since installing it, and while I am sometimes OK with being an early adopter, I prefer to know that's the case beforehand. For a utility that's supposed to be mostly invisible to the user, it is unacceptable to be asking users to fix json typos and whatnot in (ostensibly) a non-beta product. It's shaken my faith in 1Password and I do plan to try out competitors for the first time ever when my contract comes up for renewal.

This is my file and the fix worked. Are you missing a comma after BrowserSupport".
