@arunsathiya: It's not something we have immediate plans for as it's impossible to install 3rd party extensions there at all. But it may be possible for it to be added in the future. Thanks for letting us know it's something you'd be interested in! :)

Just a heads-up that now that Brave is integrating Chromium more fully, the 1password X extension can be installed. Quite unstable though, but when it doesn't crash, it works fine. [I imagine the AgileBits folk are seeing a bump in the number of crashes from the extension all of a sudden... >_< ]

@brenty Yes, it’s the latest dev build (https://brave.com/download-dev/). In 3 weeks it should reach the beta release channel....

Ah dev. Got it. No wonder I was so clueless. Looking forward to the beta! :)

Glad to hear you like it! ;) Could you advise if I should use 1password X beta or the stable release of 1password X? I am assuming the beta will feed more informative crash reports back to you guys... but I am also wondering if Brave's anti-fingerprinting & other privacy approaches might obscure the origin of the crash reports...

@Simon: I don't think we know enough yet to advise anything, but I installed the stable version and it seemed fine. The beta may be better though since you're clearly okay with running prerelease stuff, and that's where you'll see any new stuff from us first too.
Do you happen to have a link to any info on this? I am curious but couldn't manage to find any official info on if this is the direction Brave is going (user-installed extensions) going forward. :)

@brenty 'K, beta version it is for now... Regarding Brave's policy towards extensions and other developments for Brave, here is what their CTO had to say (specifically, his first bullet point addresses your question -- in short, they're planning to vet chrome extensions but all should be installable in principle): https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/comments/9dkbpi/the_rewrite_of_brave_named_brave_core_is/

+1 for this, I use 1Password X for chrome and it's wonderful. However, I'd much prefer to use Brave with 1Password X.

Greetings @roneu,
Given their support for the companion extension I'm sure we'll see 1Password X there at some point :smile:

well actualley, there is an extension used by brave automatically, 4.7.2.90, it works, but where die the software "get" it from? I have Firefox installed on my Mac 10.10. as well. Can I trust this extension?

@roneu: Brave does not (currently) allow installing 3rd party extensions. Instead, they bundle 1Password and a few others with their prose themselves. They get it directly from us, and we've worked with them to make it work, so it can definitely be trusted. Similarly, can get the 1Password desktop extension for Firefox directly from us:

I hope this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Great, for sure I don't regret having spent my money on 1Password!

Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot to hear that you're enjoying 1Password so much. We're here if you need us! :chuffed:

I would also like to see better integration with Brave. It's a bummer to have to choose privacy or security.

@paulwilliamhill: I'm not sure I follow. Brave ships with support for 1Password built in. While new versions of Brave apparently do not ship with 1Password built in, it allows installation of standard Chrome extensions.
It's a bummer to have to choose privacy or security.
I don't see why you'd think that. I can't speak to the specifics of Brave, but 1Password is built on privacy and security. If you have questions about 1Password, please let us know. And while Brave is a great browser with a lot of privacy-focused features, it's not alone these days either. :)

However, I just realized that, although I've been dutifully -- and anxiously -- checking for updates to get the new stuff in Brave...apparently the updater isn't working, and I've been missing out for a few weeks now. In case it helps anyone else who ran into the same issue, you can grab the latest installer from their site:
And then install the 1Password desktop extension as well:

1Password X can be installed, but currently does not work in Brave. We're looking into what it might be doing differently than Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, etc.
