Use Suggested Password

I don't see 'integrate with 1password'. Here is what I have done: I've logged into my account at 1password.com and clicked on my profile, then clicked on the 'gear' icon in the lower left-hand corner, then set the lock time to the maximum 300 minutes.

Clicking on the 1password icon in the safari toolbar still shows the auto lock time not clicked and grayed out. If I go to 'finder' and click on the '1password for safari' app this pops up:

If I click on the 'open safari preferences I get this :

There isn't an option to click on 'Always allow on every website'.

The version of 1password for Safari that is installed and running (but that 1password keeps telling me to install0 is 2.6.0.

I remember now why I never upgraded to version 8. 1password is a great program but the setup and upgrade procedures are WAY more complicated than they should be. You really need to simplify that. You also need to have a tech support phone number paying subscribers can call with problems. And what you really need is a way for you to screen share so I don't have to keep taking screenshots and waiting a day for the next troubleshooting steps.

Hi @mike3825,

Can you start by right clicking on the 1Password icon and make sure 'Integrate with 1Password app' is enabled?

With this enabled you have a little more control over the auto lock settings of 1Password in your browser as it shares the settings of your 1Password app. Next give your computer a complete restart to ensure there are no pending processes preventing your browser from connecting with 1Password.

Now you should be able to follow the steps in this guide to manage the auto lock settings of 1Password in your browser: Manage auto lock in the 1Password app.

Let me know how you get on!

I spoke too soon. Now the problem is that even though I've turned off the automatic locking under 'security' and also tried to set it for '8 hours' it still keeps locking every time Safari is closed and also after about 10 minutes.

Hi Steph,

I think I have it working now. If I have any more problems I'll let you know. Thanks again.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for getting back to me.

You can use 1Password for Safari independently without having the 1Password for Mac app but with both installed you can enjoy additional features when it comes to auto lock settings and organising your data.

To use 1Password in any browser you will need to install the relevant browser extension, previously 1Password 7 did come packaged with the Safari extension but now you can install it separately as you can with our other supported browsers.

I hope this clears things up, in order to follow the steps you were previously looking for you need to right click the 1Password icon in your Safari browser toolbar.

We're making progress Steph,

I don't know why I wouldn't have upgraded before, I must have missed the notice about it.

Here's what I see now:

Something else that I've never understood is why I need both 1password8 for Mac and also 1password for Safari. Why wouldn't 1password for Safari work by itself? Or why wouldn't 1password8 for Mac work on any browser?

Thanks,

Mike

Hey @mike3825,

My apologies it looks like you are still using 1Password 7 which would explain why the steps do not make much sense to you.

I would highly recommend upgrading to 1Password 8 and the latest version of 1Password for Safari so you can enjoy all of our new features and fixes. Here's how:

• Upgrade to 1Password 8 for Mac
• Install 1Password for Safari

Let me know how you get on!

Hi Steph,

This is what I see on my address bar:

When I click on the icon to the left of the address bar I get this:

When I click on manage extension I get this:

There is also a 1password icon on the toolbar on the right. I've tried clicking on them both and it looks like neither give the results you say.

Hi @mike3825,

Do you see a small 1Password icon in your browser toolbar?

It looks like you are currently in the settings for Safari. In order to follow Paul's steps you will need to right click the 1Password icon next to the address bar and choose Settings.

I hope this helps!

I'm still not understanding. I'm using 1password in Safari and here is what I get when I click on the 'autofill' field:
