1P for Edge on Windows not unlocking

Hi,

my 1Password Browser Extension on Edge on Windows does not automatically unlock when I unlock the app. I have already tried to uninstall everything and reinstall the app and the Browser Extension, but I must manually unlock the Browser Extension every time I open Edge.

The options for Integrate with Browser Extension/App have already been enabled.

App has Version: 8.10.0
Extension has Version: 2.7.0

Has anyone an Idea how I can fix this?

Regards
Stefan

Hi @hayduk,

Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like the 1Password extension is having some issues communicating with the 1Password app, so I'd like to ask if you can email us some diagnostics so we can take a closer look and help you there:

Attach the diagnostics to an email message addressed to support+forum@1password.com.

Hi,
we've already found the issue together with 1Password Support. The reason the Extension was not automatically unlocking was that native messaging was disabled with GPOs. Native Messaging is required for the communication between the browser extension and the native client.

The setting is included in the Microsoft Security Baseline for Microsoft Edge. We have now configured the required settings by GPO:

Now it works without any problem!

Hi,
I have the same problem: The extension doesn't unlock with the app. Could you pleas explain step-by-step how to fix this problem. I don't understand how that works: "now configured the required settings by GPO".

@Joy_1P Did you see my comment/question above?

Does this mean that it doesn't work properly currently?

@Hoelder

I'm sorry that 1Password in the browser isn't unlocking at the same time as the desktop app. The solution that the other user posted may not apply in your case and we'll need to investigate further to discover what the issue might be on your device. Can you tell me the following:

  1. If you restart the device does the issue still occur?
  2. Are you using a Windows PC or a Mac? What browser are you using?
  3. Are you using 1Password 8 or an earlier version of the app?

I look forward to hearing from you. 🙂
