I'm sorry that 1Password for Safari isn't working correctly on your Mac, the behaviour that you've described definitely isn't right. You wrote:

When you click on the password field on a registration page you should see a password suggestion from 1Password:
It sounds like this password suggestion didn't appear. Did you see 1Password's icon after clicking in the password field? Or was that missing as well? Can you share a link to the webpage where you ran into this issue so that I can investigate further?
Also, forcing users to approve of your cookie policies when they come to the website and not allowing them to intentionally opt-in or opt-out of tracking and 3rd party sharing is ludicrous in this day & age. Especially when the pop-up doesn't go away until the user agrees. You could simply put a banner at the bottom of the page that disappears first time I leave the page.
The team has recently made some updates to the prompt and you should see a button to reject non-essential cookies:
Or you can click on "Manage Settings" for a more granular options. Let me know if I misunderstood the issue. 🙂
