Question

Request: DuckDuckGo Browser Extension

Hello everyone in the 1Password Community. 

I'm here to respectfully request a 1Password web browser extension for the DuckDuckGo web browser. 

I'm a subscriber of both 1Password (the best pw management system imo) and the DuckDuckGo browser (very quickly becoming my favorite web browser). I currently use the 1PW extension with Safari, Firefox, and Chrome (depending on which work environment I'm in) and I would like to use it with DuckDuckGo. And as I understand it, DuckDuckGo is built on the Chromium platform similar to Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari, so the compatibly shouldn't be the road block. 

Is anyone in the community from 1Password that can offer any insight why there isn't a web extension? Or alternatively, help pass along this request to the appropriate development team for evaluation? 

Are there other community members who would also love❤️ to have an 1PW extension for the DuckDuckGo browser? Thanks everyone and stay safe out there!

PS: I read the instructions on how to connect additional browsers (see below), but I believe that this refers to installing the 1Password application, in this example, on a Windows computer. What I am requesting is an extension that allows 1PW access in DuckDuckGo without installing a native application. Thanks again.

Hello @psyduckduckgo! 👋

Welcome to the 1Password Community! It's my understanding that the DuckDuckGo browser doesn't currently support third-party browser extensions. Let me know if I have that wrong. Without support for browser extensions, most of 1Password's autofill and passkey features won't be available in that browser since they rely on our browser extension. That being said, you can still fill your logins in other ways. 

On the iPhone and Android, you can save and fill logins in DuckDuckGo by using the steps in these guides: 


On Windows and Mac you can use Auto-Type and Universal Autofill:

I hope that helps.

Hi, Dave, 

Thanks for the info.  Just to clarify, I think using 1Password to save logins and passwords to my Windows laptop, and then use Auto-Type, which enables 1Password to autofill without me logging in to 1Password, would allow anyone using my Android laptop to log into my bank and other sites, with the only protection left being the dual authentication to my cell phone.  Is that correct?  If so, I think that's too high a price to use that.  I travel with my laptop a lot, and while I haven't left it anywhere yet, the odds are mounting that sometime I will.  I'd love your thoughts.

Thanks, Richard

Hi @Richard, thanks for your reply!

Just to clarify, Auto-Type can only be used when 1Password has been unlocked, so anyone who gets hold of your device would need to be able to unlock it with your account password (or biometrics if you have them enabled) in order to access your data.

If you want extra peace of mind while travelling, you may want to consider adjusting your auto-lock settings to lock 1Password whenever your screen locks or after a shorter period of inactivity, to ensure it's always locked when you're not actively using it.

Another feature you may find helpful is travel mode. This allows you to temporarily remove vaults that contain sensitive information from the apps and extensions on your devices. This can be helpful in situations where you know you might have to hand over your devices for inspection while travelling.

We also have a support article that covers what to do if your device is lost or stolen that I would recommend having a read through: If your device was lost or stolen, and it has your 1Password data on it

Let us know if you have any further questions!
