Sophos AV 9.x blocks the new 1Password 4.x browser extension

SCM73

Sophos AV 9.x does not allow the 1Password browser extension to auto-fill login/password fields in browser

Using Sophos AV 9.x with 1Password 3 was not an issue, everything worked fine, but the folks from 1Password recently revamped their software to a 4.x version. And then the browser plugin that allowed auto-fill of login/password fields stopped working. It still opens and you can select the login/password information, it just does not fill the fields anymore.

The folks from 1Password released the following page concerning problems with their software, and Sophos AV is mentioned as being one possible culprit for the "does not auto-fill" problem: http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/Mac/en/KB/filling-issues.html

Indeed, entering 127.0.0.1 as a whitelisted web address in Sophos AV solves the problem, at least for me, in the Chrome browser.

Can Sophos make both softwares compatible again, so that we do not need to input this "exception"? I don't like giving localhost a whitelist status.

    Good to know! Might not be Mavericks though... I would rather bet that a Sophos update fixed the problem. Since I will delay the Mavericks upgrade for a while, to ensure maximum compatibility with the apps I use, I will try to exclude the rule and then check for any Sophos upgrades, and reboot the system, to check if indeed it's Sophos that fixed the issue.
