Web Extension has memory leak
I am using iMac 2017
OS: Version 13.7.8
Safari: 18.6
1password: 18.12.6
This has happened several times. The 1password we extension will consume massive amounts of memory. over 2 gig. This time I was not able to easily start my Mac from sleep mode. I had to wait a long time for the Mac to respond. It seems like the we extension just keeps consuming memory. Currently the extension is using 219.4 mb of memory.

I just had another run away with the web extension. Maxed my memory and killed my browser.
27.9 GB!!!
Current memory pressure 3/16/26
1Password now using 286.8 mb of ram. I sent the diagnostic file as requested.
How to duplicate issue? Simple:
- Start safari
- screen shot how much memory web extension is using
- do not close safari
- check memory used every day
- you will see web extension using more memory every day until one day you try to log onto your Mac and you can't. 100% of memory is used and Mac is cacheing. Machine will run very slow until you're able to close safari. Eventually forcing a reboot of your machine to clear memory.
- Rinse and repeat
I just rebooted my Mac, web extension currently using 199.5 MB.
