Enable 1password extension on standalone app

I have a windows 10 laptop with 1Password 7.7.810 that I cannot get the browser extension to work with edge. When I install it 1Password asks me to logon. How do I get the extension to work.


1Password Version: 7.7.810
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10
Sync Type: Dropbox

    I have sent the report. The error happens every time. Others in the Chrome 1PW extension site report similar problems.

    @MikeV99:

    Can you try the following commands and see if they work for you?

    1. Press the Windows Key + R to open a run dialogue.
    2. Type 1Password --setup and press enter to run it.

    This should help the extension connect again to the 1Password for Windows desktop app. Let us know how it goes!

    I have classic installed but when I click on the icon I get "Looking for the 1Password helper
    The 1Password helper must be running for the extension to work properly." "Couldn’t connect to 1Password
    Either the helper is not running, or something is preventing it from communicating with the 1Password browser extension. Follow the simple steps on our support site or contact us."
