Safari unlock behaviour
Safari's unlock behaviour requires extra clicks versus Chrome and lacks visual feedback. Here's a comparison:

pixelmachine 1Password 7 was able to work with two different extensions: the classic extension and the new extension.
The classic extension was a companion to the 1Password 7 app. Saving and filling from the classic extension was done in conjunction with the app. This worked well for licensed users, as they did not need to sign in to an account to use the classic extension.
While the classic extension worked well in some ways, it was hard for us to keep up with it. This is because the classic extension was a bit different in design and function from browser to browser, as well as from operating system to operating system. The solution for this was to make an extension that was virtually the same in all browsers on all operating systems. That was how the new extension came together.
The new extension is different from the classic extension in a couple of distinct ways. First, the new extension is a standalone tool. It does not need the 1Password app to run at all. Secondly, the new extension uses an inline menu to suggest new passwords and logins in all browsers. This inline menu makes it easier to save and fill your information.
Not being built on top of the app allowed the new extension to look and be relatively the same across different browsers and operating systems. However, there were many users who used both the app and extension. They did not want to sign into the app and extension separately. Because of this, we added the "Integrate with 1Password app" option. That is what connects the extension to the app. It allows users to unlock both the extension and app in just one go.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
