Support for Orion Browser

@misko

Our developers are working on secure settings, which will allow you to use your favourite browser (such as Orion) with 1Password. Thank you for your continued patience. For the moment, you can use Universal Autofill to fill logins in Orion. I know that it's not a full solution but I'm posting it in case folks missed it from earlier in the thread.

And Chromium based browser is not an option, not for me and certainly not for our school.

1Password already works great with Firefox (Gecko) and Safari (WebKit), neither of which use Chromium. 🙂

Thanks for using 1Password for such a long time! If you're referring to Dave the founder then I'm not him, I'm just another Dave who also works at 1Password. 😊

Hopefully, the 1Password integration will be done soon for Orion.

The team is working on it. The secure settings feature will allow you to use Orion, and any other third-party browser, with 1Password in the future. I'll let our development team know that you're looking forward to seeing it released.

Lately, I must say I am a bit disappointed with the reliability of the 1Password extension in Safari and I am not the only one that is seeing this issue. My hope is to move to Orion completely since 1Password for Safrai is only working intermittently in Ventura on an Intel iMac.

That definitely doesn't sound right. I've been using Safari as my main browser recently and 1Password for Safari has been working great on my Intel Macbook Pro. We'd definitely like to dig into this deeper so that we can see why 1Password for Safari isn't working well on your Mac, please send an email to support+forum@1Password.com so that our support team can take a look and advise further. After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure it's gotten to the right place. 🙂

I don't have any new updates to share at the moment. The feature is still being developed and is not yet available for testing. We'll update this thread when the feature is released. 🙂

Hey all. Thanks for all the requests for Orion support. As we've said earlier in the thread, we've have been motivated by this feedback to work on a feature that will make it possible to allow any browser you trust to connect securely to the desktop app. It's getting close to ship, and I have a new post that goes into more detail about how it works: https://1password.community/discussion/140735/extending-support-for-trusted-web-browsers#latest.

However, even with this new setting, we've found that Orion is not currently compatible with the 1Password extension. Trying to load the Chrome extension (both mv2 and mv3) leads to unrecoverable errors in network requests and other low-level APIs. Here's an example of some errors in basic cryptography operations we saw which prevented the extension from even loading:

We are a bit surprised to see these kinds of errors since the 1Password extension is fully compatible with the web API and Web Extensions spec, and it works across Chrome(-ium), Firefox, and Safari. Our understanding from the Orion team was that compatibility wouldn't be an issue, and all we had to do was change our policy. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.

We'd of course like to see 1Password work everywhere, which is why we've invested in the new setting to add trusted browsers. But it's a much bigger lift to invest in specific compatibility changes for a single browser, especially if we don't know how extensive those changes will be. We're sharing our findings with the Orion team and will post an update in the forums when we find out more.
