Question

Browser extension for (Brave, Chrome, Firefox) no longer integrates with 1Password app (no Touch ID)

As of today, my 1password extension for Brave, Chrome and Firefox no longer seems to connect to the 1Password app on my Mac.

I now need to use my password instead of Touch ID for opening the extension and when you want to add a new item or edit an old item, the browser opens an edit window in another tab instead of opening an overlay through the 1password app. I'm also not automatically logged in when the 1Password app is already open and unlocked.

I've tried to toggle both the "Integrate with 1Password app" setting in the browser as well as the "Connect with 1Password in the Browser" a couple of times, but that does not help. In Brave I reinstalled the extension as well. Again, no resolution. I can see that the 1Password helper is running in the Activity monitor.

What has happened? What am I missing? I hope someone can help me or point me in the right direction. Thanks!

@MikeT First of all thanks for the tip. This works for me on Chrome and Firefox. I can't find the com.1password.1password.json file for the Brave Browser. I looked at ~/Library/Application Support/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/NativeMessagingHosts/ but could not find it. Any idea where I should look?

I see the following logs in the console, it looks like the Chrome extension is looking for 1password 7, but I have the 1password 8 desktop app installed. Here are the logs:

Hi @RMNL,

I think Brave reuse the same path for Chrome, did you already restart Brave fully after fixing that path for Chrome?

I just checked on my side and 1Password does work in Brave now after fixing it for Chrome.

@MikeT

🤦‍♂️ That worked indeed! I did not expect that. Thanks again for the help. Good luck fixing the issue with a fix!

Thanks for confirming and helping us with this; we're working on it as we speak.

Just a note; this workaround will last until either the Mac restarts or the app fully terminates and restart. This is because we rewrite the file on launch.

We'll get an update out as soon as possible.

Prior to the 8.9.14 update, I was able to autofill in Chrome as long as the 1Password application was open on my Mac. Starting with the 8.9.14 update, I have to use the 1Password icon in the browser regardless of the computer 1Password app being open. Was this an intentional change?

Hi 1Password team,
I recently updgraded to 8.9.14 on my mac. Since then, I noticed than browser integration does not work anymore.
I have tried several things:
- re install 1Password app (from Website)
- re install Chrome Extension (2.6.0) (Including re-installing it from 1Password application)
- ensured that 1Password application integrates with browser.
- reboot (several times)

None of these work. Browser extension and app are still not linked.
Any idea?

Thanks,

BTW: I also checked with several other browsers (Firefox and Brave) --> Does not work either.
