Apple have committed a number of own-goals lately, but most self-respecting developers still try their best to adhere to certain standards regarding the Mac user experience.

@1Password, on the other hand, have taken it upon themselves to ignore the user's specified highlight colour and just make it blue. The stated reason for this is so that it provides 'a more consistent and polished experience across all platforms, ensuring that 1Password looks and feels the same whether you're using it on your Mac, Windows PC, or in your browser'. Decide for yourself how believable this sounds.

The jarring visual dissonance that occurs when this bright blue thing pops up when you need to enter a password has to be experienced to be believed.

Bad enough that they're jumping onto the 'AI' bandwagon, but this level of ignorance on the part of a major developer about the macOS user experience is stunning. They can fix this or lose at least this customer.
