Stop locking 1Password browser extension
I find 1Password to be a great application and it has already added a lot to my productivity. There is one annoyance, however. In order to autofill credentials on web pages I am obliged to install the browser extension, or at least I have not been able to find a way to do it with the application only.
The extension locks 1Password each time I close the browser and then at the next use I'm only able to unlock it by typing the master password. There is no possibility to use Windows Halo (on Windows) or Apple Watch (on Mac) nor is it possible to stop the locking at browser exit.
From my point of view, it would greatly add to the usability and improve the user experience if either of the following would be made possible (in order of preference):
- Dispense with the browser extensions altogether for autofill purposes. Use only the app and enable autofill by using a keyboard shortcut.
- Add the browser exiting locking setting in the app and make the locking behavior of the browser extension consistent with the settings in the app.
- Add browser exit locking as an option in the extension settings and provide "never" as one of the selectable values.
1Password Version: 8.10.0
Extension Version: 2.7.0
OS Version: Windows 11 Pro and Mac Ventura
Browser:_ Edge, Safari, Chrome, Brave

A widget is a neat idea. 🙂

I wanted a widget as well if possible, I like it in the app but I think it would be cool if you could click recently used or pinned fields in a widget and it opens 1Password then does the action (copy password etc.) nimvio

Sounds like Early Access #4 (coming super soon) is going to have some exciting stuff in it. 😄

It would be cool to see a widget where you could click your recently used too
Hi I agree with that, I think a Recently Used list gives a little bit more flexibility than Favorites, as a frequently used item now (let's say a website you just made a purchase on and you want to track your order) might become irrelevant soon after. "Recently Used" with a time filter (3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks) would be very convenient.
