1Password incorrectly reports Wavebox is out of date

This has happened again with version 8.10.7 (81007041) macOS. It's getting beyond annoying that this has been going on for over 12 months now

Hi @Thomas8520! I'm so sorry to hear that this issue cropped up again with the latest update.
At the moment, the decision to allow Wavebox in the Beta version only is a temporary compromise, and we do apologise for the inconvenience caused each time a newer Production version is released.
Our browser team are looking into methods of implementing a new mechanism that will allow users to trust any browsers they want. Once that new mechanism is ready to implement, it will replace the current Beta compromise. At the moment I'm not able to provide a timeline for this, however you can keep an eye on our release notes page for news on any upcoming changes: 1Password Releases
If you have any further questions or concerns, let us know!

I know my little personal account doesn't matter to you but this will be my last year with 1Password due to this ongoing issue.

This has happened again with version 8.10.9 (81009046). Is there any kind of time frame when the extended support for trusted web browsers is going to be released?

Hi @Thomas8520 - Sorry for the late reply.
The latest Beta (
8.10.10-14) was released on July 28, 2023 and should help with Wavebox. If you don't already have it you can find the details here:Is there any kind of time frame when the extended support for trusted web browsers is going to be released?
We don't usually set release dates for new features and I don't have a timeframe to share. Please continue to monitor our release page for the latest feature implementations:
Do let us know if you have any other questions. We'll be happy to help!

Unfortunately this version has broken biometrics completely, we’ve had numerous reports from Wavebox users about this over the last couple of days. Also looks like other browsers with the beta channel requirement have been affected.

Hello @Thomas8520,
I'm sorry for any disruption this has caused. I appreciate you providing that link to the related conversation. I can see that the conversation has continued via email with the Extensions Support team.
While I have no additional news to share at this time, the team is continuing to investigate based off of the issues my colleagues have filed. We're hoping to have this resolved as soon as possible.

Once again, the 1Password desktop app has switched to the production channel, although I have set up "beta" in the settings, which causes the known issue that the wavebox integration doesn't work properly anymore. I see positive comments a couple of months ago, but it looks like this still isn't fixed?

Hi, version 8.10.6 of the 1Password desktop app has just been released which has support for adding custom browsers. We've added some instructions on how to enable this on the Wavebox Knowledge Base https://wavebox.io/kb/1password-extension/

Hey @Thomas8520, thanks for sharing that!
As a note, custom browsers support is only available on 1Password for Mac at this time, so that setting will not be available on Windows/Linux devices just yet.

Thanks, @AliH1P, I've updated our Knowledge bases to still direct 1Password users to use the beta channel on Windows and Linux. Is there any timeframe for this heading to other platforms or any fix for 1Password periodically not working even when selecting the beta channel?

Thanks for your reply @Thomas8520. We don't currently have a timeframe to share regarding when the custom browsers feature will make it to the other platforms.
For Windows users, the Beta channel will continue to be the go-to method for the time being.
On the other hand, Linux users can use any release of 1Password and manually add Wavebox to a custom_allowed_browsers file. Here are some example steps:
1. Ensure that 1Password for Linux is installed along with 1Password in your browser, and that browser integration is enabled from Settings → Browser. 2. Close 1Password completely. 3. Open a terminal, and run `sudo mkdir /etc/1password` (if you've done this already, you can skip it). 4. Run `cd /etc/1password`. 5. Run `sudo gedit custom_allowed_browsers`. 6. Write in the appropriate browser filename- in this case `wavebox`. 7. Save the file. 8. In the terminal, run `sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers && sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers` 9. Run 1Password - it will read the new config file and make the appropriate connections. 10. Launch your browser!
Let me know if you have any further questions.

This happens to me with some frequency on Windows and macOS. I think that technically there is a newer version of Chromium that Wavebox hasn't had a chance to incorporate and push out. The problem usually just lasts a day or so (on the beta channel), maybe a little longer if the Chromium release cycle and the Wavebox team had a schedule conflict (like during the weekend). 😜
I do the ULTRA secure of copying the password from 1P and pasting it into the Extension in Wavebox. It'll stay unlocked and functional for a good portion of the day, depending on the 1P settings and computer usage.
It hasn't bothered me enough to track down the version of Chromium used in the build of Wavebox I'm using and see what the latest Chromium build is. I'm assuming it isn't always the same as one of the Chrome builds, and even if it were the same, I have stable and Dev installed but not beta, so there are a bunch of variables (does the Wavebox team beta build pull from a specific Chromium release channel, is the version of any of the Chrome versions.
I do always check to see if there's an update to Wavebox, the 1P extension, and the 1P app, but that's the extent of my troubleshooting. Most of the time, there isn't an update.
I'm still happy that 1P "finally" works with other browses, like Wavebox, so I'm OK with this relatively minor inconvenience.
