Start 1Password mini on startup, but don't start main application?

Hi @dtgriscom -- I can't tell for certain, but it sounds as if you may have added 1Password to your list of startup items in System Preferences. You've taken the correct steps to have the Mini load when you login to your Mac, but if the main 1Password app is opening then as well, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > (your account name) and then click "Login Items." If you see 1Password there, click it once to highlight it, then click the minus button under that window to remove it. This will not delete 1Password, only remove it from the list of items that launch on login.

If you don't see it there, let us know.

@dtgriscom -- thanks for the suggestion; we'll consider it. In the meantime, can you verify that removing 1Password for Mac from Login Items in your Mac's System Preferences does indeed solve the problem? Thanks. :)

Sorry for the confusion there. That's not what it does though. It keeps 1Password mini running even after you close the main app window. If we change it to what you suggest, it will be inaccurate. Cheers! ;)

So, to the user, there's no real reason why starting/quitting one would affect the other.

But it does.

Perhaps you could solve this through documentation, better-explaining what the preference does.

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Welcome to the forum, @TylerA! I'm sorry for the trouble. Can you try restarting your Mac, and seeing if that makes any difference. If not, I'll need to know:

1. What specific version of 1Password for Mac you have installed
2. What specific version of macOS you're running
3. What specific version of 1Password extension you're running, in which browser(s), and
4. How you sync your data (1password.com account, Dropbox, iCloud, etc).

Please include anything else you think might help us find the issue -- what steps have you taken so far, and what's not working the way you think it should, etc. Thanks! :)

@dcrawford13: I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately without some basic information it's hard to say what might be going wrong and how we might right it! Please tell me the OS, 1Password, browser, and extension versions you're using, the exact steps you're taking, and what is (or is not) happening the way you expect so we can figure out the best plan of action:

Find your version

The more information you can give, the better. For instance, can you elaborate on the "browser extensions also no longer are working" part? Thanks in advance! :)

@dcrawford13 - hmmm, that's definitely not normal behavior. Even if you're in Read Only mode, you should still be able to unlock 1Password with your Master Password and see your data. Rather than play 20 Questions with you here in this public forum about the specifics of your setup, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Mac:

https://support.1password.com/diagnostics/?mac

Please add the following code (including the square brackets) to the subject of your diagnostics email before sending it:

[#DHA-97429-621]

This will link your diagnostics to our current discussion. I'll take a look and let you know what I find out.

For anyone else reading, please note: this ID is for @dcrawford13 only. If you’re experiencing the same issue and need help, please ask us for your own ID.

Welcome to the forum, @gdharries! It's a bit difficult to say what might be the issue and how we might help you resolve it, without a little more information. Can you tell us:

1. What specific version of 1Password you're using?
2. What specific version of macOS you're running?
3. What specific version of 1Password extension you have in your main browser(s)?
4. What method you use for syncing your data?
5. Whether you make use of 1-click bookmarks
6. Anything else you think might be of interest in trying to diagnose the issue?

Thanks! :)

@gdharries: In order to be able to use 1Password in Safari (or any browser), it must be running. So you'll likely have (and want) the app running at all times, in 1Password Preferences > General. You can disable that if you don't though. Additionally, if you have 1Password open when you restart/shutdown your Mac and you check the box to reopen apps again on startup, you'll have it come up that way anyway. Let me know if that helps.

Hi @LMD!

Thank you for the information. In macOS, did you enable the option to reopen apps again on startup perhaps?
