I am currently using Librewolf browser on my Macbook and there is no extension for that browser. Can you tell me if Copy and Paste is as secure as having an extension in the browser? Thanks.
1Password Version: 8.10.16
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Ventura 13.6
Browser: Librewolf

Hello @JBob3! 👋
Thanks for the question! While I'm not a user of LibreWolf myself, as a fork of FireFox, you should be able to install the Firefox version of 1Password in the browser in LibreWolf: 1Password: Password Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Since LibreWolf isn't signed, and isn't a supported browser, integration between the browser extension and the desktop app won't work.
Can you tell me if Copy and Paste is as secure as having an extension in the browser?
Using 1Password's browser extension is the best and most secure way to fill and save your passwords. When you copy a password to your system clipboard you do run a small risk of having a malicious app or process intercept that password since the system clipboard, managed by macOS, is available to many apps on your device.
For your security, 1Password automatically removes copied passwords from the clipboard after 90 seconds.
Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
