MacOS: “1Password” would like to access data from other apps?
Hoping to understand what this permission is for. Thanks.
Hello folks,
I'm sorry that you ran into an unexpected prompt. I've run into the same prompt myself when updating from 8.10.62 to 8.10.64 and I've flagged this internally. A recent change to how Apple enforces permission restrictions for the Group Container folder, where the 1Password updater stores log files, resulted in a similar issue that was resolved earlier this year and it sounds like there might have been a regression somewhere recently.
An issue has been filed with our development team to investigate this further. I'll update this thread as soon as I have more news to share.

Thank you 1P_Dave - this shouldn't be marked "solved" though until you have shared that information

+1 on this topic. fwiw I declined the request and 1P appears to be functioning. I don't use the dev tools though.
Same here. What kind of data does 1Password want to access, for what reason, and why now?
I guess people who actively choose to use a password manager tend to be more paranoid (or realistic) then the general public, and you can't drop this on us without context.
The dialog doesn’t actually come from 1Password, but from macOS itself. 1Password requires various permissions from macOS in order to use all its features. It just seems a bit odd that this dialog suddenly appears, even though neither macOS nor 1Password has been updated.
I also went through all of macOS’ privacy settings and couldn’t find anything related to this under “Files and Folders” or “Full Disk Access.”
I would simply like to know which privacy and access permissions 1Password actually requires – and which ones it doesn’t.
I saw the same dialogue, even though I didn’t install any update. I’d like to know where it’s coming from and what it actually means.
