[Linux + Brave] Integration with 1Password App not working properly

Hello, I am having an issue with Brave on my Ubuntu machine.

I have the 1Password App working as expected, and I installed the browser extension on both Firefox and Brave.
My expectation is that, if I unlock the App, it should unlock the browser extensions too. This is how I have always seen it working in MacOS too.

On Firefox, everything works as expected and unlocking via the App does indeed unlock the browser.

On Brave, however, this does not work. The extension remains locked, independently on the state of the App. Additionally, I have the extension installed in 2 different profiles (Work and Personal) and even unlocking one of them will not unlock the other. Also, I tried having both App and extensions locked, unlocking the extension: that did not unlock the App either.

What I tried to fix things:
* updated Brave to latest version
* updated extension to latest version
* updated 1Password App
* verified that "Integrate with 1Password App" setting in the extension Settings is activated, and it is, but it seems to be ignored.

Other things to note about my setup:
* I am using System Auth to unlock the App (https://support.1password.com/system-authentication-linux/) and this works fine (and, as mentions, this does unlock Firefox without issues)

Can anyone help with the above issue? It's quite bothersome, to say the least.

Thanks
Best


1Password Version: 8.4.1 (80401002)

Hi @p4gs, I can confirm that, indeed, the issue was Snap!

As soon as I reinstalled Brave via apt and re-linked everything, all worked fine!

Thank you so much to you (not least for actually @ me, so I would get the notification :) ) and to all those that previously mentioned this solution.
