3 years agoHey there kherge - Thanks for raising this one 🙂
I'm sorry for any disruption in your workflow caused by the investigation you got into here. You are correct - the 1Password browser verification process requires that the browser be installed under the /Applications directory. If it is installed outside of that, we aren't able to properly validate the browser's signature, and for security reasons, the app integration features will not work (as you noted).
I installed Firefox in my user's applications folder like I have with all of my non-Mac App Store apps.
I just wanted to provide feedback that could see browser verification tweaked a little bit.
While I can't promise anything, I'll be happy to pass your feedback forward to the team here. We're always working to improve the user experience, while at the same time, maintain a strong focus on security.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to assist further!
