Add 1Password extension for Opera & Sidekick browsers

I wish to add my voice to the many requesting native browser extensions for Opera & Sidekick. I've added Opera & Sidekick as trusted browsers using 1Password Support's process described here. ...

    Hello apb1pass​! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out. The team used to have to extensively vet different browsers and add support manually but we now have a feature that allows users to choose their own trusted browsers. You can add a custom trusted browser to 1Password for Mac by following these steps:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click Browser.
    5. Click Add Browser and follow the prompts to add your chosen browser.


    Our team is working on releasing a similar feature for Windows in the future.

1P_Daveis this only an option for Mac? I'm using windows 11, latest updates on everything and I don't have this option.

I recently switched to Opera GX from Chrome, but don't see this as an option. Only issue I seem to have is that I downloaded from chrome webstore (I know not officially supported by this browser), but then the Integration status shows Connection Problem.

Thanks for the ping. Currently, the feature to add unsupported browsers (like Opera) to the 1Password desktop app is only available for the Mac. I'll let the team know that you'd like to see it be developed and released for Windows as well. 

For the time being, you can use 1Password in Opera but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.

    Hello 1P_Dave,

    Thank you for the update. I'd like to echo the sentiment regarding the need for the "allow users to choose their own browsers" feature to be extended to the Windows platform.

    As a user who regularly switches between MS Edge and Opera, the current lack of Opera support in 1Password creates a fragmented experience. Seamless integration across all my preferred browsers, including those not officially supported, would significantly enhance my workflow.

    Please pass on to the team that this feature is highly anticipated and would be greatly appreciated by Windows users.

    Thank you!

    1P_DaveThank you! Yes that is the only thing I don't like (typing in my password twice in opera and in desktop app, then of course when pc goes to sleep and such instead of using windows hello, compared to that integration working seamless with supported browsers)
