Hi jbhardman, thanks for raising this issue.

"Vivaldi isn't on our list of browsers that we support by default on the Linux platform. That means you'll need to do a few things to get it working with 1Password.

  1. Ensure that 1Password for Linux is installed along with 1Password in your browser, and that browser integration is enabled from Settings → Browser within 1Password for Linux.
  2. Close 1Password completely.
  3. Pop open a terminal, and run sudo mkdir /etc/1password.
  4. Run cd /etc/1password.
  5. Run sudo gedit custom_allowed_browsers.
  6. Paste in the appropriate browser code - such as opera or vivaldi-bin. (the binary name)
  7. Save the file.
  8. In terminal, run sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers && sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers
  9. Run 1Password - it will read our new config file and make the appropriate connections.
  10. Launch your browser. 👍

I hope this is helpful - let me know if this resolves the issue for you!
