Lack of classic extension?

It appears 1Password 8 drops support for the classic browser extension (the "desktop app required" one). Is this the case?


1Password Version: 8 early access
Extension Version: N/A
OS Version: macOS 12.0 Beta (21A5294g)

Yeah, seems like now you'll need to use the disconnected 1Password X-based extension. A downgrade, in my opinion.

Hi @mpcsh!

That is correct, the Early Access version only works with the latest 1Password in the browser extension :+1:

Just so you know, we added desktop app integration to the new 1Password in the browser integration a few months ago, if you would like to try it ;)

This is still a downgrade in my mind. As many folks on this forum have said, the biggest draw to 1Password for me is the native experience, and this is not that.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear that @mpcsh 😔

Have you given 1Password in your Browser with the new integration with 1Password 8 for Mac a try yet? It's even available for Safari now, and honestly, I couldn't see myself going back to 1Password Classic after using it.

@ag_ana I can't seem to use my Command + \ shortcut though?

@george_perez

I think you are looking for Shift Command X for 1Password in the browser.

Extensions in Safari went through a few iterations. The original extensions were removed in Safari 13 and replaced by Safari App Extensions.

Now we have the newer Safari Web Extensions that were introduced at WWDC last year. This is the technology that the new 1Password for Safari is using. This is also the technology that is coming to iOS and iPadOS later this year.

@1P_Tommy I don't think so, the shortcut I use is Command + \. That's not working for me.

I'm also using Firefox, not Safari.

@george_perez Just tried to use ⌘+\ in both Safari and Firefox and it was successful. Is there a chance you have more than one login saved on that website? At the moment, it would only work when there is a single item, we hope to get it fixed soon.
