Problem connecting from Vivaldi (Linux Flatpak)

Hi, I installed Vivaldi from Flatpak on my distro (Linux Mint). I already have the 1Password app installed. The 1Password extension is unable to connect to the app, so it remains locked even if the app is unlocked.

I've already searched and found advice to create `/etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers` and add the binary name to it. In the replies I found, they said to use `vivaldi-bin` as the name, but that didn't work.

I checked the entire launcher command: `/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=vivaldi --file-forwarding com.vivaldi.Vivaldi @@u %U @@`. I see the command argument `vivaldi`, and as corroboration, I can see many processes running as `vivaldi` in my process list, so I thought "Aha! I should put `vivaldi` instead of `vivaldi-bin`!" But alas, that didn't work either.

Please help!

Hi @aanderson320 !

I'm sorry to hear that you're having some trouble getting integration working between the 1Password app and extension. I can confirm that vivaldi-bin is the correct binary name to add to the custom_allowed_browsers file.

However, it's important to note that when either the 1Password desktop app or your browser is installed using a containerised package manager like Snap or Flatpak, the app won't be able to communicate with the browser extension.

As a next step, I would suggest making sure you've installed both 1Password and Vivaldi using a non-containerised method, then test things out again.

Let me know how you get on!

Thanks, I was wondering if the containerization was screwing with things. I installed the .deb package instead and the integration works now. Thanks again!
