Stop locking 1Password browser extension

Options

I find 1Password to be a great application and it has already added a lot to my productivity. There is one annoyance, however. In order to autofill credentials on web pages I am obliged to install the browser extension, or at least I have not been able to find a way to do it with the application only.

The extension locks 1Password each time I close the browser and then at the next use I'm only able to unlock it by typing the master password. There is no possibility to use Windows Halo (on Windows) or Apple Watch (on Mac) nor is it possible to stop the locking at browser exit.

From my point of view, it would greatly add to the usability and improve the user experience if either of the following would be made possible (in order of preference):

  1. Dispense with the browser extensions altogether for autofill purposes. Use only the app and enable autofill by using a keyboard shortcut.
  2. Add the browser exiting locking setting in the app and make the locking behavior of the browser extension consistent with the settings in the app.
  3. Add browser exit locking as an option in the extension settings and provide "never" as one of the selectable values.

    Hi @JerryD

    1Password in your browser can integrate with the desktop app, which will allow them to lock and unlock together. This can make it such that you do not have to unlock again after quitting and relaunching your browser. It also makes it such that you can unlock using options like Apple Watch, Touch ID, and Windows Hello, if enabled in the desktop app.

    Can you please check that the following options are enabled?

    • In the desktop app:

      • 1Password > Settings... > Browser > Connect with 1Password in the browser
    • In your browser:

      • Right click the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar > Settings > Integrate with 1Password app

    Once you've verified both of those settings are enabled the lock state should be maintained across browser sessions. Please let us know how it turns out. 😃

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks a lot for your kind response. I had the settings as you describe. In the end I also set both to Require Password > Never and deselected Lock on sleep, screensaver, or switching users in the app and disabled Automatically lock password in browser settings.

    Still, if I quit Edge, the next time I restart it, the 1Password is locked and at first use requires password.

    Thanks @JerryD. It sounds like the browser extension is not properly communicating with the desktop app in that case. 🤔 We'd be happy to help troubleshoot that. To get us started, I'd like to ask you to create a diagnostics report from your Windows PC and a console log from Edge:

    Attach the diagnostics and log to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com.

    With your email please include:

    Will do. However, this is not on Windows. It is on MacOS Ventura.

    Okay, no worries. In your opening post you mentioned:

    OS Version: Windows 11 Pro and Mac Ventura
    Browser: Edge, Safari, Chrome, Brave

    But if you'd like to start by troubleshooting the Mac, that's fine too. The instructions for Mac are here and Safari here. Thanks! 😃

    Hi Jerry,
    Thanks for sending that over. I did see some errors in both your extension console logs and diagnostics report. I have some follow-up questions:
    • Do you use 1Password with any other browsers on your Mac? If so, do you have the same issues in those other browsers?
    • Are the 1Password desktop app and your Edge browser both installed in your /Applications folder?
    • Do you have any other extensions installed in Edge? If so, what are they?
    • Could you disable the other extensions in Edge and see if that helps?
    • Do you have any anti-virus or anti-malware programs on your computer?
    • Do you use a proxy or VPN?
    Once I get those details, I'll be able to assist further. I hope to hear from you again soon.

    Hi,

    No bother – on the contrary, I am grateful for your help.
    The setting was already there:

    What I notice now is that it says 2 items under the app name. Is that OK?

    Best regards,

    Hello Jerry,
    Sorry to bother you with another email. Can you try the following steps to check an important detail that might cause the issue:
    1. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner.
    2. Select System Settings.
    3. Go to the General section.
    4. Select Login items.
    5. Under Allow in the Background section, make sure 1Password.app is enabled there.

    Restart the browser and 1Password desktop app, then test it again and see if the connection issue is fixed. Let us know how it goes.
