Fail to integrate browser extensions with 1Password app on Ubuntu

Hello!

My desktop app is running on Ubuntu, and I have tried the browser extensions running in Brave, Firefox and Chrome.

At a clean state of the browser, after the extension is installed, I'm instructed to type in the secret key and the master key. The extension works as a stand-alone password manager and it's totally independent from the desktop app - when the desktop app was unlocked, the browser extension is still locked. It gets pretty annoying when I have to type the master password every time I open the browser, even if the 1pwd desktop app is unlocked.

I tried reinstalling the browsers and removing and re-adding the extension. I enabled the 'Integrate with 1Password app' setting in both the extension and the desktop app.

After that I attempted all steps in this thread: [Linux + Brave] Integration with 1Password App not working properly
but it didn't work.

I have also tried switching to the old 1Password classic extension which redirects me to a onepassword4://activate/Chrome url and it's not supported by the desktop app and produces the following error with xdg-open:

$ xdg-open 'onepassword4://activate/Chrome'
gio: onepassword4://activate/Chrome: The specified location is not supported

So I changed back to the latest versions:

OS: 20.04.1-Ubuntu

Extension: Version 2.3.5 (latest)

Desktop app: 1Password for Linux 8.7.1 (latest)

All browsers are at the latest versions as well.

The extension's log, same for all browsers:

The 1pwd desktop app was installed with the apt package manager following the official installation documentation. It's not running in a sandbox environment.

The desktop application was installed following these steps:

  1. Add the key for the 1Password apt repository:

     curl -sS https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /usr/share/keyrings/1password-archive-keyring.gpg

  2. Add the 1Password apt repository:

     echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/1password-archive-keyring.gpg] https://downloads.1password.com/linux/debian/amd64 stable main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/1password.list

  3. Add the debsig-verify policy:

     sudo mkdir -p /etc/debsig/policies/AC2D62742012EA22/
 curl -sS https://downloads.1password.com/linux/debian/debsig/1password.pol | sudo tee /etc/debsig/policies/AC2D62742012EA22/1password.pol
 sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/debsig/keyrings/AC2D62742012EA22
 curl -sS https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /usr/share/debsig/keyrings/AC2D62742012EA22/debsig.gpg

  4. Install 1Password:

     sudo apt update && sudo apt install 1password

Any help will be appreciated!

1Password Version: 8.7.1

    RESOLVED: It turns out that my Chrome is installed with Flatpak (my bad!) by checking with the command flatpak list. After reinstalling with the deb package from the official website, 1Password now functions as expected.
