Help Understanding Permission Request

I am configuring a new MBP.

I have installed 1Password on the MBP.

When using Safari I get the below permission request for each website I visit:

Would appreciate assistance in understanding the meaning / purpose of the request (i.e., is it to grant 1Password the ability to enter usernames, password, etc. to webpages and, if not, then what is the purpose).

Thank you.

1Password Version: 8.10.56
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 15.1
Browser: Safari

    Hello, Joelc. Thank you for writing in, and congratulations on the new MacBook!

    As a web extension, 1Password for Safari needs user permissions to operate effectively within the Safari browser. There are two fundamental types of permissions that Safari utilizes in this context:

    For webpage contents, 1Password requires these permissions to fill and save logins and other details on all web pages.

    For browser history permissions, this allows 1Password to suggest login items (saved in 1Password) for websites you visit.

    I suggest configuring 1Password for Safari to allow access to all websites. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
