Hello Mike72! 👋

Thank you for reaching out. The 1Password for Windows desktop app has a feature called "app integration" where it will share the same lock state with 1Password in the browser. This ensures that when you unlock 1Password in one place on your Windows PC, it will be unlocked everywhere else.

If app integration isn't working then this indicates that something is going wrong. Try the following:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password for Windows.
  2. Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar and click Settings.
  3. Click Browser.
  4. Make sure that "Connect with 1Password in the browser" is on.

Then in each of your browsers:

  1. Open your browser.
  2. Right-click on the 1Password icon in your browser's toolbar and click Settings.
  3. Make sure that "Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app" is on.

If that still doesn't work then do you see a green dot in the browser settings page? Or a different coloured dot and an error message?
