    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.

1Passworder1ā€‹ Thanks for all the info. Let's try to figure out the first issue first regarding the installation location as there could be a relation to the browser extension integration issue.

What was the original issue you ran into with the MSIX from the Microsoft Store that caused you to download and install from our website instead? From your previous post, it seems like the browser extension issue was present with that version as well. As far as Nightly/Beta goes, the Microsoft Store version only supports the Stable channel due to the Microsoft Store's update policies.

I believe the setting that you mentioned (Windows Settings > System > Storage > Where new content is saved > New apps will save to > D drive) only applies to applications downloaded from the Microsoft Store. In order to move MSIX installations from outside the Store, it is a little more involved requiring PowerShell. Here's a Microsoft article that has more information. If you haven't yet, I would raise a support ticket so that we can provide more direct help.

First I had installed from MS Store. It wasn't being discovered by the browser extension. So I thought maybe the issue is fixed in beta version. So I uninstalled the MS Store version and installed the beta from 1P website. Unfortunately it too has the same issue. 

I even tried powershell command methods - 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>  Get-AppxVolume                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
Name                                             PackageStorePath             IsOffline IsSystemVolume
----                                             ----------------             --------- --------------
\\?\Volume{Long Alpha-numeric} C:\Program Files\WindowsApps     False           True
\\?\Volume{Long Alpha-numeric} D:\WindowsApps                   False          False

Tried moving the existing installation to D: 

Move-AppxPackage -Package "Agilebits.1Password_8.11.14.20_x64__amwd9z03whsfe" -Volume "D:\"

It still shows installation path as C: 

Uninstalled and reinstalled with this - 

Set-AppxDefaultVolume -Volume "D:\"
$D_Volume = Get-AppxVolume | Where-Object { $_.PackageStorePath -like "D:\*" }
Add-AppxPackage -Path "D:\OneDrive\Legion\Downloads\1PasswordSetup-latest.BETA.msixbundle" -Volume $D_Volume

Still the same. Weird thing is, when I go to Windows Settings -> Apps and click the "Move" option for 1Password, it says "This app is currently installed on D:

I'll create a support ticket, as you suggested.
