Support Arc Browser integration with 1Password 8

I'm using the new Arc Browser from the Browser Company (https://thebrowser.company/), which runs on Chromium. It works perfectly but as of now it doesn't seem to by syncing with the desktop app, so I need to always type in my master password instead of being prompted for TouchID, which gets annoying. Any chance there's something you can do on your end to make this work? Thanks!


1Password Version: 8.7.1
Extension Version: 2.3.5
OS Version: Mac OS 12.2.1

Hi @osdiab:

Thanks for asking! Arc is actually a supported browser, however it's currently limited to integrating with the beta or nightly release of 1Password 8 for Mac. If you'd like to give the beta releases a try so you can use 1Password and Arc together, follow the instructions here: Use 1Password beta releases

Let me know how you get on with that!

Hi @Jack_P_1P

is there a rough ETA on when Arc is expected to be officially supported in the normal stable release of 1Password?

No, none that I am immediately aware of. Sorry.

@1P_Tommy Any chance of updating the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-extension-deskt/aomjjhallfgjeglblehebfpbcfeobpgk to work with Arc? Right now it states it "can't verify the identity of your web browser." (Last update appears to have been January 2021.)

Side note: 1Password's instruction video on that extension's info page shows up as Private and can't be viewed.

Thanks. I'll ping someone on the team to check that video out. Please note that video is for the classic extension. Was 1Password in the browser the one you were looking for?

As to the first question I'll have to ask. Sorry, I am not personally familiar with how the two work together. I suspect no, because with 1Password 8 we've completed the move to memberships only. Sorry, I don't seem to come with good news. 1Password 7 and the classic extension are no longer receiving updates. Only important updates will go out.

I don't think the 1Password in the Browser extension will work with a local vault, so the "1Password Classic" extension is the only one that will work in this instance. And yes, the video should be for the Classic extension.

@degausser

You are correct 1Password in the browser does not support local vaults.

I see your edits to your first reply now. Bummer. Not the reply I was hoping for, but understandable. Thank you for looking into it.

Sorry about that I had hoped I would get them done before the outgoing email was sent. Dare I say that this old man was a tad slow. 🙃

Wondering if/when the 1password extension will get upated to stop saying arc is an unconfirmed 3rd browser
