Hi gct3o and @motees:

It looks like you're running into two separate issues here.

@motees, follow the steps here:

  1. Close all open web browsers.
  2. Open the Terminal app on your Mac
  3. Paste the following into Terminal and then press enter to run the command: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f -R /Applications/Safari.app
  4. Open Safari > Preferences > Extensions and try to enable 1Password again.

gct3o:

Do you see the 1Password icon in Safari's toolbar? You may have to allow 1Password to interact with all sites before it behaves as expected. In short, because 1Password can view and modify pages you're viewing (in order to detect fields to be autofilled and perform the act of filling), it's necessary for 1Password to have permissions to view and modify all sites.
