Hi jbhardman, back once again. 👋

I've asked around about this and have the following for you:

  • What you're proposings regarding Flatseal may be possible. You'll need to grant the Flatpak access to the /opt/1Password directory at a minimum so it can access 1Password-BrowserSupport.
  • Another issue may be that the browser's $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR won't line up with 1Password's, causing BrowserSupport to look in the wrong place for a UNIX socket.
  • Overall, we think that the sandbox adjustments made to your config wouldn't likely cause any serious security issues, so you're welcome to tweak and trying things out - just know that this is something that AFAIK hasn't been the subject of extensive investigation here, which is why I'm not able to give you a more straightforward "here's what to do" kind of answer at the moment.

In any case I hope this provides some helpful information - and we'll welcome the results of any testing you'd like to share!
