1password X on Windows 10?

Hey robert1p:

You're exactly right. The regular 1Password extension I linked to was previously known as 1Password X.

When using "Integrate with 1Password app", 1Password in your browser will unlock and lock with the 1Password desktop app. This allows for 1Password in your browser to stay unlocked after quitting and relaunching Chrome, as well as allowing for Touch ID or Windows Hello unlock to be available (by way of using the 1Password desktop app to unlock). There's no change in security between leaving that setting off or on, it just allows for different use cases.

For example, since I'm the only person that uses my specific computers (my Windows devices and my macOS device), I have 1Password for Mac and 1Password for Windows installed and signed into my 1Password accounts. This allows me to unlock 1Password in the browser using either Touch ID, or Windows Hello. If however, say this was a shared computer account with a family, disabling "Integrate with 1Password app" would allow for easier use. As we generally recommend that each person using a device has their own computer account, 1Password will not allow multiple users from a single family account to sign into the same 1Passsword app. Using separate browser profiles, and disabling "Integrate with 1Password app" would allow each member of the family to use their own browser profile, and only see their 1Password information in their specific browser profile.

Let me know if that clears it up, or if you still have questions!
