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

Hey @Remo thanks for your reply. At the moment, we're trying to focus on bigger players in the browser world with a more proven track record. However, we do understand that having a convenient way to save/fill your data in your chosen browser is important. Our developers are indeed aware of the requests for 1Password to support Wavebox, and it is something that is being considered. I just can't make any promises on this. That said, I will definitely pass along your thoughts to the entire team. We are always working to improve our product, and your feedback is sincerely appreciated.

Mostly, the Chrome-based browser extensions are 100% compatible with Google Chromium Browsers, too. I have not a single extension that is working in Chrome but not in Vivaldi or Wavebox. Do you?

Why is 1Password not compatible? What quirky "security" concept did your custom build make it incompatible and what purpose does it serve? I'm both a Vivaldi and Wavebox user (both Chromium) and switched all some twelve end devices/browsers from Bitwarden to 1Password, only to find that I have to login countless times every time my laptop gets locked. Unlocking with my Hello Webcam is super snappy, and now you come along with this BS. I'm super pissed.

Can I get my money back? I do no longer see a single reason why I should stay with 1Password, I have a painful buyer's remorse, not just because of the money, but because of all the time I spend to import all my passwords (had to do it in batches of 100s because 1Password would crash otherwise) and all the dozen or so extension installations on all the devices/mobile/tablets/browsers combination I'm using.

And Bitwarden was 10$, and for the extra 50$ I pay for 1Password per year I do not even get better customer support, but a lame ass "your feedback is sincerely appreciated" answer?

As a developer myself, I would AT LEAST appreciate an honest, technically founded, detailed explanation why this is so hard to implement. Just get it done guys, please! I paid 99$ for my work browser, Wavebox, and these guys take their customer not for granted and would be happy to help you with the implementation, a win-win for everybody! They have quite a few customers that are like me extremely upset to find that you do not - on purpose - support my Internet Browser of choice! People are different! People have different preferences! Why would you force us to use just the big players! That is how you become part of the problem, ousting independent developers with great ideas, which create a more productive browser like the team of Wavebox! And no, I'm not affiliated, I'm just a regular customer, that spent hours evaluating the best browser to get through the day organized and sane, was using it for over two years, no thought I found a password manager that worked even better on Android that Bitwarden - and BÄM. Dieser Mist.

For our common love of great tools and the freedom of choice in our tools, get me a dev from your team on the line @Joy_1P, will you? Please? Susan Davis from Wavebox, all Wavebox and Vivaldi Browser (and all the other Chromium-based browser that I might not know about) users would be delighted and forever in your debt. How do the next 20 years of yearly auto-renewed subscription of an added two hundred users sound that you do not push away? Would that make up for getting us something better than: "... it is something that is being considered"? A place on the backlog of the next release? A timeline maybe, even? Am I pushing my luck? I still love you; you know. But I am upset.

Hey Remo, Susan here Co-Founder at Wavebox. Thanks for taking the time to share your frustrations. Everything is ready to roll from a technical perspective here (and has been since 2019), so we're just waiting to be blessed by 1Password. Wavebox has been an established browser since 2016, with an ever-growing user base worldwide, Chromium release parity, and 4.8 Trustpilot rating. We will reach out to our direct contacts again to see if we can get this sorted out for our joint users.🤞🙏

Hi @Remo:

Thanks for the feedback here. We genuinely wouldn't be here without feedback from users like you.

What I can say is that your feedback has brought the conversation back to the forefront. As to when or if you'll see a change, I simply don't have a timeline to share with you just yet.

Thanks also from me (on Mac), longtime 1Password user and new Wavebox user!

Hi, Tom from Wavebox here. I just want to say a quick thanks to the 1Password team for adding support for Wavebox. As a 1Password user myself, this makes life so much easier! :-)

Hey @Remo / @papascott

Glad to hear you're all excited about Wavebox!

Just so you're aware, this is currently only available in the beta versions of 1Password: https://support.1password.com/betas/

The integration on Windows is now broken. It reports that Chrome is out of date, despite Wavebox using the latest Chromium. Full details are here https://1password.community/discussion/129633/1password-incorrectly-reports-wavebox-is-out-of-date/p1?new=1

@Jack_P_1P are you able to help?
