Windows 10 beta [no Helper, different from desktop app, cannot integrate with browsers]

This discussion was created from comments split from: 1Password helper not running [Usually, third party security apps interfering with Helper].

FYI, the new Windows Beta version doesn't seem to have a "Restart 1Password Helper" option in the Help Menu.

Hi @MDBrown,

You may be talking about the separate 1Password Beta app from the Windows 10 Store, which is different from the 1Password for Windows desktop program.

If you're using 1Password Beta from the Windows 10 Store, this does not have 1Password Helper not can you use the browser extensions right now. This is limited to basic filling support in 1Browser built into the app, which you can activate by pressing on the Browse button on the bottom right of the Login item.

@MDBrown: I hope you don't mind, but I've split this off into a separate discussion since it's regarding the 1Password for Windows 10 beta app and not the 1Password for Windows desktop app.

In case it helps anyone else, the 1Password for Windows desktop app can integrate with web browsers using extensions, and the Helper is what facilitates this. This app works in the traditional Windows 7, 8, and 10 "desktop mode" and is designed for use with a keyboard and mouse. It does not currently support 1Password for Teams/Families (though an update is in the works).

The 1Password for Windows 10 beta app, however, cannot. But as Mike mentioned, it has a built-in browser that can be used. This is a Windows Store (UWP) app that will work on any Windows 10 device (including tablets and phones), and is designed with touchscreens in mind (though it works just fine with keyboard and mouse as well). It supports 1Password for Teams/Families. Cheers! :pirate:
