Safari extension not reliably unlocking
For more than four weeks now I have problems with the Safari extension not unlocking reliably. I have not been able to accurately narrow the circumstances down but it seems like the issues increased when upgrading to macOS Sonoma and can sometimes be triggered by having multiple Safari windows open in different Safari profiles. Though I am having the same issues on another machine not yet on Sonoma, though they are less often.
The behaviour that's bugging me is that the extension will not unlock at all. Clicking on the icon in the browser bar does nothing, same goes for clicking on the unlock icon inside of a password-field. The only temporary solution is to force-quit Safari with CMD+Q, unlocking 1Password while Safari is closed and then re-opening the browser. However, it is only a matter of luck for how many minutes or hours the extension keeps working.
As I have set my 1Password application to lock itself after 1 min of inactivity, the problems are more obvious for me than it may be in other circumstances. I am not able nor willing to change this time though and expect the extension to work reliably again.
1Password Version: 8.10.18 (81018040)
Extension Version: 2.17.1 2170010
OS Version: 14.1.1 (23B81)
Browser: Safari

I'm sorry that you're also running into issues. Can you tell me a little more about the specific behaviour that you're seeing on your Mac? Are you also unable to unlock the 1Password extension? Does the desktop extension still unlock properly?
Can you share the version of macOS that you're using and whether you've enabled, and are using, profiles for Safari?

I'm sorry that you're running into reoccurring issues with unlocking 1Password in Safari on your Mac. The team and I are here to help until everything is working properly again. As a first step can you please update 1Password for Mac to version 8.10.20: How to keep 1Password up to date
Then, I'd like you to do the following:
- Close all open web browsers.
- Right-click on the 1Password icon at the top of your Mac's screen and then click Quit. Wait until the icon disappears.
- Double-click on 1Password from your Mac's Applications folder.
- Open your web browser.
I understand that you've tried similar steps in the past, if the issue returns again then I'd like to request the following to investigate further:
- The extension console log: https://support.1password.com/cs/extension-console-log/
- A diagnostics report: https://support.1password.com/diagnostics/
Attach both files to an email message addressed to

I have similar issues in Arc (a Chromium browser)

+1, these issues have been persistent with the Safari extension for some time and it’s about time they get resolved fully.
