1Password for Safari Will Not Unlock Unless I Connect 1Password / 1Password for Safari

I think I discovered the problem and things seem to be working.

In the below image there is an option in the 1Password desktop app that reads " Connect with 1Password in the browser".

It would be helpful were someone to explain the need / use case for this option as toggling it off makes 1Password for Safari inoperable. It is a though the desktop app is the data base / engine and without it the 1Password for Safari Extension cannot access any data (i.e., it has nothing to do with synchronizing unlocking).

Worth noting, it appears to have a different impact that the 1Password for Safari Extension setting of "Integrate this extension with teh 1Password desktop app". It is a though this is related to synchronizing unlocking (i.e., it has nothing to do with data access).

Perhaps someone from 1P can chime in?

Thank you.

@1P_Dave , comments / thoughts on the above woudl be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Anyone?

Hello, @Joelc. Thank you for writing in.

The 1Password Extension integrates with the 1Password desktop app through a feature known as Shared Lock State. This functionality ensures that when you log into the app, you're automatically logged into the extension as well, streamlining your experience by eliminating the need for separate sign-ins.

In the 1Password desktop app, this option is Connect with 1Password in the browser; in the 1Password extension, it's Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app. If both options are enabled, they should communicate with each other.

Based on what you shared, it sounds like the 1Password desktop app is having trouble communicating with the 1Password browser extension on one of your devices. However, if you'd like to unlock the 1Password extension independently from the 1Password desktop app, you can toggle off the Integrate this extension with the 1Password desktop app option.

@1P_Evon , good evening.

I have dug deeper into this and am sorry to report that in Windows when 1Password Desktop app and the 1Password for Edge extension are not linked (i.e., not linked in the setup of either) that I cannot unlock the 1Password for Edge extension.

I know this should work as this configuration works perfectly in macOS.

Please help me sort this out so I can get it working.

Thank you.

@1P_Evon or @1P_Dave , good morning.

Good morning all!

Gentle follow up on the above post, kindly respond when possible.

Thank you.

@Joelc,

Thank you for the ping.

It seems there may be a communication problem between the 1Password desktop app and the browser extension. I suggest you email mailto:support+forum@1Password.com, including both diagnostics reports. https://1password.community/discussion/comment/722430/#Comment_722430, allowing us to investigate the issue further.

@1P_Evon , good afternoon.
