The 1Password extension for Safari seems to be broken with 17.2 beta. I've reported this to 1Password.

Does this have the new Journal app like iOS beta does? And if so is their an import function for DayOne where most all existing users would be transitioning from?

Damn, thanks, man! If that works, I owe you lunch! Im trying it now.

Update: It worked after a little extra step - I had to switch off HDD encryption using terminal and I am happy to report that my Canon camera works again!! Thanks so much for the tip @Realityck

This update killed my OBS & EOS Webcam Utility Pro, and I cannot use external cameras. I wonder if any of you had this issue? Downgrading is kinda complex ;)

How to restore legacy video device support in macOS Sonoma
Restoring legacy webcam support will allow your older device to work, but the green privacy indicator won't appear when it is in use.
[LIST=1]
* Shut down your Mac.
* Start up in Recovery Mode. This is done on Apple Silicon Macs by holding down the power button and on Intel Macs by pressing Command-R while turning the Mac on.
* Click the Options button, then Continue.
* Select the Utilities menu, then Terminal
* Enter the command: system-override legacy-camera-plugins-without-sw-camera-indication=on
* Press Return and complete any additional steps if prompted.
* Quite Terminal
* Go to the Apple menu and select Restart.

After the Mac restarts, a warning will appear in System Settings. Go to Privacy &. Security and select Camera.
If legacy video support has been successfully restored, a warning about the green dot not appearing in the menu bar will appear. That means your outdated webcam should now work on your Mac running macOS Sonoma 14.1.
