Safari for Mac 1password 8 won't autofill

I upgraded from 1password 7 to 8 and can't get it to autofil in Safarl. I followed these instructions but it still won't work. What am I doing wrong?

Set up Universal Autofill
Before you can use 1Password for Mac to autofill your information in apps and browsers, you’ll need to set up 1Password on your Mac. Then follow these steps:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
Click the Privacy tab, then select Accessibility from the list.
Click the lock icon and enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
Select the checkbox beside 1Password. If you don’t see 1Password, click the + button, locate the 1Password app in your Applications folder, then select it and click Open.
Turn on the Accessibility preference for 1Password
From now on, you’ll be able to use 1Password for Mac to fill your usernames and passwords without opening the 1Password app.

1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: mac 12.6
Browser:_ Safari

    @andrew.1_1P,

    I am not the OP and hope I am not hijacking this thread, but what version of 1Password are you using?

    With 1Password 8.9.4 and 1Password for Safari 2.3.8 (Monterey 12.6), I have only the first two Autofill options you do. "Offer to save new sign-ins" is missing.

    Thank you,

    David

    Hi @VivianPicow,

    Glad to hear you've made the upgrade to 1Password 8, though I'm sorry to hear autofill isn't behaving as expected in Safari.

    To start, could I confirm whether or not you see the 1Password icon in Safari's toolbar? If not, you can address that here: If you don't see the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar

    Once you have the 1Password icon in Safari, right-click it and select Settings. From there, navigate to Autofill on the left side and then check that the options you'd like to use are enabled:

    Let me know how this goes or if you have any questions along the way! 🙂
