1Password is taking me to the wrong browser for my Verizon Yahoo email login

For my Verizon Yahoo email account, I use Safari instead of Firefox. (I use Firefox for some other web pages such as online banking.) I saved the login information for Verizon Yahoo email when I logged in using Safari, but when I tried to open the email page from 1Password it tried to open it in Firefox. This is a problem because for some reason Verizon Yahoo email is not working well with Firefox but it is working well with Safari. How do I get 1Password to remember what browser I want for different web pages?

    Hi @JohnGreen,

    You can select the Default web browser preference in Safari for the web browser that 1Password's Go & Fill (and other applications) will use:

    It's not possible to individually select which browser a Login item will use, although there have been requests for it, e.g.

    Feature Request: Override default web browser

    Feature Request: Set which browser to open individual Logins in

    Post #2 in the first topic suggests using Choosy and/or 1Click Bookmarks as alternatives to configuring 1Password to override the default web browser.

    For example, you could create a 1Click Bookmark for your Verizon Login item so it'll use Safari. I hope that'll work well for your purpose.

    Actually, I found a better fix. If I'm in Safari and then click on the little 1Password key thingy at the top of the screen and select the Verizon Yahoo email login, it will open in Safari.

    Hi @JohnGreen,

    That works, too. :)

    I wasn't sure how often you had Safari running for being able to use the 1Password extension there. And you can add a 1Click Bookmark for that Verizon Login item directly to Safari if that's any easier.

    Enjoy the rest of your day!
