A better way to unlock 🔓

Hey everyone! 👋🏼
It's been a minute since we posted an update but since launching our integration with 1Password for Linux we've gotten some great initial feedback, resolved some issues, and we've got some more news to share.
I'm happy to say that with today's release of 1Password for Mac and Windows, we have enabled the connection with the current beta of 1Password in the browser (1.25.5)
With these new betas, you can now enjoy:
- Unlocking 1Password will automatically unlock 1Password in the browser
- Restarting your browser will leave 1Password in the same lock state
- Using biometrics to unlock 1Password in the browser is now possible
For those following along on the Linux releases there are some things available which haven't made it to Mac/Windows yet, but will be included in future updates.
We're all looking forward to you getting a chance to give this a shot and get back to filling passwords without fear of closing down your browser 🔐

Huzzah! Thanks! I've tested this in Firefox on Mac with touch id and it works well. I assume this will also work on Windows using Windows Hello?

Absolutely! Go give it a whirl! 😊
I just got the update notification but it disappears so fast I barely saw the biometric and came over here. FYI it's actually hard to know if the Mac desktop app is updating or if the Chrome extension is.
So I am using the Beta Extension (1.25.5) but when I open the desktop app (Beta 7.8.2.BETA-0) it still says to install Chrome extensions. What else do we need to update? I just tested and no unlock through Touch-ID. Thanks!
Where on earth is the thumbs up/like button? :P
I tried but it did not work for me.
My setup:
My attempt to test this feature:
Doesn't seem to work for me yet, unfortunately:
I tried both Brave and Chrome, but biometrics (touchID, Apple Watch) don't work to unlock the browser extension. Also, closing the browser and reopening opens with the extension locked.
Just to add a datapoint, it's working on:
Locking and unlocking is synchronized across the main app, browser extensions, and menu bar icon. Clicking the browser extension icon bring up a biometric prompt. Yay!
Quit Chrome and reopened and its working now, yay its finally back!
Thanks very much, I was desperately waiting for this, and it works perfectly for me with

We're glad to hear all the excitement from you guys!
If something is not working for you, please relaunch the browser and 1Password like so:
On a Mac:
On Windows:
A restart to the computer might also get things in order so give that a try when all else fails.
If you are still experiencing issues, please send us an email to [email protected] with the info and we'll be happy to help!
I tried the same setup but with Chromium Edge, it works

That's great @zhaoweny .
This should also work in Firefox though. Make sure that Firefox is not set to "Always use private browsing" and that it can remember history.
I tried the new beta extension in Edge Chromium and Firefox, but it is not working in Firefox. I have no issues with Edge Chromium.
When I click on 1P icon in Firefox, nothing is happening. It gives me no option to unlock, not even with master password. When I right click on icon and enter settings, I see my vault is locked and greyed out.
I have Firefox 88.0 x64 with extension version 1.25.5 and Windows 10 21H1 with 1P Beta 7.6.800

Hey @Naxterra ,
Can you please check your Firefox settings as I mentioned in the reply above?
@ag_yaron
I have cookies and history enabled, also tried with Standard protection instead of Strict protection, no change.
For testing I also disabled DNS over HTTPS but it didn't change the outcome.
Working!
macOS Big Sur 11.13.1
Firefox 88.0
1Password for Firefox 1.25.5
1Password for Mac 7.8.2.BETA-0 (70802000)

@Naxterra:
Thank you! Have you received a ticket number already?
Great job! Works nearly as expected in Windows 10 and Vivaldi browser.

Thanks for the feedback guys
We’ll done on the Mac and Chrome integration. My use case was maybe unique, so great job enabling it.
I can now use the 1Password beta extension cross-platform on Chrome. If the desktop app is there on my Mac, then TouchID is available and works. If I’m inside a Virtual Machine, which may be Windows, my browser extension syncs over as it should, but since the desktop app isn’t there, I just have to login via password since biometrics isn’t available.
Perfectly seamless!
How do we report any bugs to help?
Just create a new discussion here in the Browser Beta forum with your issues or questions.

I had some issues at first unlocking the Firefox extension (got confused when I pressed the shortcut to unlock in the browser and the desktop window came up!). Once I unlocked the desktop app, the browser extension was just spinning at the unlock screen. Once I went into the extension settings, disabled and then re-enabled "integrate with 1Password app," everything worked!

Thanks for the info @crazycaveman .
If you encounter the issue again, before fixing it grab the extension's log and send it to us via email to [email protected]
Here's how to grab the log: https://support.1password.com/cs/extension-console-log/
I hope you'll have smooth sailing from here on out!
Which extension in FireFox is "1Password in the Browser"?
