    Not sure what's the current state of this issue, but I just stumbled upon this exact issue. I wasn't able to get the Chrome extension to connect to the app as well as using the recently announced Passkey feature for Windows.

    I got similar logs to the ones above, which reminded me that I recently moved (possibly by uninstalling and reinstalling) the app from drive C: to D:. I tried moving the app back to drive C:, and this issue magically disappeared.

    In case if you still need any help, I'm happy to provide additional debugging information. Please let me know.

Hi everyone, I managed to fix the browser integration with the MSIX version. After looking at the logs, I saw that the browser extension was erroring on finding the path of the application, specifically because the Drive was different:

ERROR 2025-06-05T12:26:10.140+00:00 [1P:op-ipc\src\ipc\windows.rs:436] peer process and app install paths are not the same. peer process path: E:\WindowsApps\Agilebits.1Password_8.10.80.18_x64__gh85et3mt782r\1Password\app\8 install path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Agilebits.1Password_8.10.80.18_x64__gh85et3mt782r\1Password\app\8
ERROR 2025-06-05T12:26:10.140+00:00 [1P:native-messaging\op-browser-support-lib\src\communication_logic.rs:201] Failed to connect to the main app: PipeAuthError(InvalidPeerProcessPathLocation)

This was because I had changed where Windows should install applications by default, and by doing so, Windows creates a symlink in C:Program/Files/WindowsApps/ to the drive we setup.

You can check this setting in "Settings -> System -> Storage -> Where new content is saved". After resetting the location to C: and reinstalling, it's working perfectly.

Hopefully, this helps anyone with the same issue and the 1password team as well.

Thank you very much for sharing! I'll bring this up to our developers as well.
