2 years agoSafari extension unreliable and slow
I don't know how helpful I actually have the energy to be, but the Safari experience with 1p8 feels like it's getting continually slower and unreliable.
The 1p popover in form fields is slow to render and feels sluggish (~1 second ballpark). Unlocking frequently fails, requiring either a restart of 1p or the browser, and the lock/unlock state between the toolbar icon and the in-form UI is often out of sync for up to 10 seconds. This can make auto fill on a new site take up to 30-40 seconds between attempting to unlock, bouncing 1password, slowly unlocking the extension, and then it being ready to autofill.
1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.20 (81020036)
Extension Version: 2.16.0
OS Version: macOS 14.1.1 (23B81)
Browser: Safari Version 17.1 (19616.2.9.11.7)

I've generally been having generally better experience since an update + bouncing the helper app - but had a slow unlock today and sent console logs in - [#FDB-97119-759]

I'm happy to hear things are looking up. You may be able to use the following instead of restarting.
- Look for our helper in the menu bar near the WiFi indicator and the clock. Right-click (Option-click or Control-click) on the helper and select Quit.
- Fully quit your browser. There should be no light on underneath the Dock icon.
- Wait a few seconds and then open 1Password from the Dock or the Applications folder and unlock.
- Open your browser.

I had updated to a new version before making that post, which I think is what caused it to forget the biometrics. Once I finally rebooted my computer so they would work again, itβs been unlocking faster.
I am guessing there were fixes in that update and my auto update hadnβt updated yet (I had checked and applied the update manually).

The same here. I have a feeling that the problem has arisen since Safari can work with multiple profiles. Not so much the 1Password 7 to 8 upgrade.

It is extremely slow and unreliable for me as well ever since upgrading from version 7 to 8. But, in the past day, it has forgotten how to unlock on my MacBook with Touch ID, which is annoying, but I also realized it's unlocking very quickly and reliably on typing the password.

Happened again for me - also after waking from sleep (different website though).

"I'm getting close to dumping 1p."
Same, i'm already looking at alternatives, it's been constantly unusable in Safari for me.
