Sharing 1PW runnig virtual windows 10 on Mac
I am a Mac user who relies heavily on 1PW. Occasionally I run Windows using Parallels. When I am in Windows, is there a way to access 1PW via the browser extension? Now I get message that it cannot find the 1PW helper. Mac OS 10.10.5 and Windows 10, Parallels 10.2.2.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi @tgbunzini,
Just to ensure I'm understanding correctly, you would like to have it where you have the 1Password browser extensions installed in your Mac browsers but being able to communicate with 1Password for Windows that is currently running from a VM on the same machine. Is that a correct summary of the query?

1 PW is the Mac Apple Store version running on the Mac. I occasionally run Windows 10 as virtual machine (Parallels). While using a browser in windows 10, can I access the Mac data file? Or do I need to get the Windows version of 1PW also?

Hi @tgbunzini,
So I was almost correct, I just got the host and guest the wrong way round. This is an unusual request, it will require some pondering.
Certainly 1Password for Windows and the use of either a shared folder or Dropbox would definitely work and what we would advise for anybody considering this.
