Browser should detect if you have multiple 1password accounts

Hi

I use 1Password for Business and Personal and am logged into both in the app. When I've unlocked my business account, and go to login to a website that is stored in my personal, I cannot get my personal credentials without first manually opening and authenticating the personal account within the 1password app.

It would be amazing if the browser extension detected that you have multiple accounts, that there are no credentials in the unlocked account. So offers the option to authenticate the other account to check if there are credentials there.

Small tweak, but would be amazing. Please please please do this!!!

browser extension

    Hi! Thanks for responding. I didn't know it was possible to use the extension to unlock the vaults. It's several clicks longer than my proposed solution. I'll use it until you implement my solution :) Thanks!

    Hi chrisbeans​, thanks for writing in!

    I think this is an interesting idea, and I can definitely see the benefit. I can't say if or when this feature might be added to 1Password, but I've shared your feedback with the team. 

    I cannot get my personal credentials without first manually opening and authenticating the personal account within the 1password app.

    You may have come across this already, but I wanted to mention that you can also unlock 1Password accounts from the extension, without leaving the browser and going to the app first. While I understand it's not quite what you're looking, it can be a quicker option. To do so you can click the extension icon in your browser's toolbar, click the account selector in the 1Password extension pop-out, then click the locked account.

    Thanks again!
