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)

@1P_Rob I'm interested in the single sign-on feature. We use SSO at work - can you elaborate on that? You can split this into separate thread if you like.

We'd love to elaborate more but this is something that's been explored internally and isn't quite ready to make the spotlight. If and when it does make it out of the lab, we'll be sure you give you a shout 🤫

@1P_Rob thanks! glad to know that's still there.

And fair point, though users expecting something there is a mental model that makes it easier. I guess I find it unnecessary visual clutter. It often covers up other fields that I need to access, or override (e.g. when a site has changed from username to email, but the update didn't take in 1P).

But since it's disablable, I'm going to do that on my family's machines right now :-)

Hi @1P_Rob just opening this one back up a bit. Installed the new plugin on my ipad, and on the very first site I ended up starting to type my passphrase into the actual website login field instead of the unlock. What happened is that when I clicked on the 1password icon in the username field, it popped up the keyboard, but because of the screen layout, all I could see was the one password logo (the 'please unlock from the toolbar' message was hidden by the keyboard). It looked for all the world like the entry field was the 1P field, when it was really the website field. This absolutely will happen repeatedly unless people are very very careful. I know now to always use the toolbar icon, but for safety's sake is there a way to remove the injected 1P icon in the username field itself on iOS?

Hey @dougl. I appreciate your sharing your experience here, especially with the context of the wording being cut off and only the icon being visible. It's not possible currently to turn off the inline icon on iOS/iPadOS, so I've opened two issues internally for us to track and think about things further: 1, the option to turn off the menu, as is present on desktop; and 2, the inline wording/appearance by default, so we maintain helpful functionality while keeping our users as safe as possible.
