Question

1Password Extension for Chromium does not synchronize unlocked state with Windows App...

... while Edge Extension, at the same time, using the same version, does (unlocked, like Windows App). Chromium based Wavebox browser stays locked until I manually enter password.
I have a very handy printscreen ready to illustrate the issue, but when I attach the printscreen, this forum is giving me an error: "You are not allowed to post attachments in this category. Please remove any attachments to proceed."


1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: 2.3.0
OS Version: Not Provided

@Remo Have you enabled integration in the 1Password Chromium extension? 1Password browser icon -> All Accounts -> Settings -> Integrate with 1Password app

Former Member Thank you for your answer. Yes, activated, in both the Windows App and the Extension.

Prinscreens are always terribly small, and it seems they cannot be opened/expanded; furthermore, posts cannot be deleted. I have seen better support forum software, but at least you have a support forum.

@Remo My understanding is that you can only use 1Password with approved browsers. That is Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.

Hey @Remo, Former Member is correct about this. Wavebox is not an officially supported browser, so the extension may not work correctly with it or at all. We can add your voice to an internal feature request to support Wavebox. We can't make any promises on when or if this will be done, but our developers will definitely take a look and consider it.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thank you @Joy_1P for an official Team Member follow-up, appreciated.

And YES, please, add this as a feature request.

I do not see why you would want to exclude the Number 1 productivity browser on the market (Wavebox) with an amazing customer support and let them down by having to disappoint users repeatedly, only because 1Password decided to produce a strange security architecture. If the communication between the desktop app and the browser extension is not "safe", why offer it at all? If it is secure, why not offer it for all chromium-based browser?

Wavebox even created a knowledge base article about the issue, titled: "How do I get the 1Password extension to work in Wavebox?"

https://kb.wavebox.io/1password-extension/

stating:

"From a Wavebox code standpoint, we fully support the 1Password extension, are able to make requests to the 1Password desktop app, and we support all the same Chromium APIs as Chrome, Edge, Brave etc. So technically everything is in place for the 1Password desktop app to communicate with Wavebox. The break is, that the 1Password desktop app rejects any connection that isn't from an allowed browser (Chrome, Firefox etc).
This is an active policy decision by 1Password and one they will only review as customers demand it - so it's worth making your requests heard by sending a quick note to the 1Password support forums to make sure your request is heard!"

After having used countless password managers in the past, I thought I finally found the "best" for my setup and bought an annual subscription, only to find out that 1Password is not compatible with my productivity setup (Wavebox) and I am extremely disappointed, but still hopeful. You can reach the Wavebox team here (Susan Davies): mailto:support@wavebox.io, they are ready to get this to work!
