Desktop application integration
If possible could someone share a link on documentation to integrate 1password auto-fill with a custom cross platform desktop application written with ElectronJS and React. I've searched the docs but...
@ag_yaron Thanks for this advice it was very helpful.
Especially this:
- Restart your computer, open and unlock the desktop app first, then open the browser and see if the extension unlocks automatically.
- Install Firefox's binaries from Mozilla's website instead of using the Firefox version that came packed into your OS.
Knowing how to check if the integration is working is very useful.
Once I had confirmed that opening the App first and unlocking it and then when opening Firefox the extension was still locked I started looking at my installation of Firefox.
What I blame it on is that I had installed https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.mozilla.firefox - it's actually Firefox's https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux.
I uninstalled the Flatpak version and then installed the deb package through the software UI. I then re-synced my 1Password extension in Firefox, checked the app integration was turned on in the settings.
Now when I did:
- Restart your computer, open and unlock the desktop app first, then open the browser and see if the extension unlocks automatically.
It worked! Woohoo!
