Unplug whatever is in your USB ports and try again.
Mac mini 2018 USB ports should never be used when using Bluetooth.

I am so ready for this feature. AgileBits is awesome. My highly secure life is highly convenient because of them.
And 1Password offers more than just password management
Ok, I’ll bite. So the “more than” would be?
I was a user for years but after they forced a switch to a subscription model in order to have the sync feature - I dropped it for Keychain and haven't looked back..
Also, I didn't have positive experiences with their customer service and responses. They were at times unhelpful and snobbish. I do miss some of the features that aren't intuitive in Keychain but otherwise - I'm happy to have dropped them.

This is awesome. The main reason I use TouchID is 1Password. The main reason I currently use a laptop over a Mac Mini is TouchID. I have commented on this a few times in other discussions.
Looks like it's not updated on the App Store yet. Definitely excited about this though.
I can't speak for LastPass but shared vaults are the biggest deal for me over iCloud Keychain. (And iCloud Keychain isn't all that useful for keep non-password material safe.)
The family plan + shared vaults with 1Password is extremely convenient, especially as the guy who manages everyone else's security in my family—including my parents who would be using like 1-2 easy passwords for everything. We store everything from wills, to ID scans, to CC info there. It let's my wife and I easily share a lot of sensitive data and, while helping dealing with a medical crisis with my younger brother, we can keep a bunch of his medical logins and data shared with me, his wife, and him.
It's also multi-platform at this point which is handy.
Integrating 2FA OTP secrets is super nice. I was able to get rid of Duo.
I really can't say enough about 1Password. I've been using it for years and the paid version for... eh... two years now? Something like that. It's a utility that's so important I want to support its continued development. Features like this are exactly why I'm happy to pay.

Inline password suggestions, finally! I use 1Password on Firefox at work all the time and love this feature and hated how it wasn't available in Safari. Is there a way to change the icon back though? I hate the look of the square Big Sur icons and am resisting the change for as long as possible.
1Password X does. There's been two extension options available to Mac users. On Mac the plugin that comes with the application install requires you to hit a keyboard combination to trigger credential proxy, and if there was multiple possible credentials you got a popup window rather than the inline selection drop down. 1Password X that did offer this in-line functionality hasn't been available on Safari for Mac. In fact it's still not listed at this page: https://support.1password.com/getting-started-1password-x/ at the time of me posting this. It supported Chromium and Firefox.
This is the first time inline credential selection has been supported on Safari.
Too little, too late. I've abandoned it after a long while of using a pre-sub license, and will never get pulled into a "pay or it will stop working" business model.
Yea I've got 6 installed on Big Sur too, to avoid the sub cost. I have 7.7 installed on my phone which is working without issue so not sure where the sub cost would come in for me if I switch to 7.7 on the mac, or what I'm missing out on etc. That said, I never even used the Safari integration in the past, I've always used 1Pass. as a manual access password store and nothing else.
I pay because I can seamlessly use it across my work provided Windows laptop and my Android phone, as well as my personal iPhone and Mac. It’s a great bit of software that has a lot of features keychain doesn’t.
However, if you simply want to store basic passwords on Apple devices then yes, keychain will work for you.
As for LastPass... didn’t know that was free. Why is it free, how do they make money?
To just store passwords Keychain is fine, you're right.
What I like about 1Password is that it stores one-time-passwords as well.
On top of that you can just safely store so much...bank accounts, credit cards, IDs, insurance information, email accounts, notes, security questions, free text-fields etc. You can even add documents or scans to password/login entries.
It just allows you to have all of that information at your fingertips on your devices when you need them. At home or when you're traveling.
I‘m no encryption expert, but as the vaults themselves all are encrypted, I at least perceive it as as secure as icloud keychain. And it syncs via iCloud as well.
This is great news considering it wasn't that long ago that 1Password stated that watch unlock wouldn't be possible. https://1password.community/discuss...ion-unlock-1password-on-mac-using-apple-watch
I guess Apple made the unlock-with-watch APIs available.

Also, LastPass is owned by a scummy company: https://www.troyhunt.com/logmein-now-owns-lastpass-heres-how-to/
LastPass has had more serious security vulnerabilities in the past 5 years than most people have bought new phones.
Imagine unironically trusting a company this incompetent with anything more valuable than your toothpick.
I was very lucky to pick up the standalone release before they moved to a subscription. I just got the download to update to version 7.7.
In the license world, you get the app you paid for, you don't get forever updates for free. That software you paid for will continue to work as is. I got free updates with my 1password for around 4-5 years, then they released 1password7 which was a paid upgrade. I would be happy to pay the $80 or so license for another 5 years of free upgrades. I don't expect them to work for me forever for $60.
oh ok, cool. I see what you mean now I just tested it, but isn't it faster just to hit cmd+\? That auto fills it.
Eeeeerrr...they still sell a license, I know ,I bought it. They just hide it away. You have to download the app then it gives you the option once you launch it.
Which app are you using and is it better or worse? Just incase 1password turns into subscription only.
I got tired of waiting on the App Store to update so, I updated manually from the 1Password site. I am liking the watch unlock feature a lot. I have been waiting years fo this. I do wish we could set the option to enter password manually to 1 month or more, instead of just every 2 weeks.

I hear bitwarden is the best alternative to 1password. I like 1 password and I would recommend to everyone but IMO its dangerous to rely on any 1 company, options should always exist.
I migrated from 1Password 6 to LastPass and never looked back. LastPass browser addons have also worked much better for me than 1Password.
I dumped fancy solutions and now I let Keychain handle it. I only have Apple devices anyway, and it's in line with my new "as few third party apps as possible" policy - one I started implementing when everybody jumped the subscription bus. I only pay AirMail sub as far as apps go. Other than services (Netflix, Spotify) of course.
It works great (especially on iOS/iPadOS) and if ever I need my card number for something that Keychain for some reason won't fill in, I copy it from the Revolut / BigPay app.
