Jack,

The more I try to use the new FF extension the more confused I get. First, please tell me if each of the the following are true:

  • To use the new Masked Email feature I need to use the new FF extension ver. 2.1.0 (instead of the old extension ver. 4.7.5.90).
  • The new extension requires that I login to 1P every time I start my browser (or the first time I use 1P in FF), and that behavior cannot be disabled.
  • Each time I log into 1P from the FF extension I get a "you just logged in" email, and those emails cannot be disabled.

Is all that true? If so then I have a problem. I go into and out of FF many times every day. For me it's unacceptable that I must login to 1P pretty much every time I want to use it. I'll stay with the old extension.

Your Getting Started web page at https://support.1password.com/getting-started-browser/ describes how to use the new extension but not its drawbacks. I spent way more time than I planned figuring these out before I figured out that it was inappropriate for me. I suggest that your web site list both the benefits and the drawbacks so your customers don't waste their time figuring this out.

Thanks,
Mike
