Ok,

So I figure it out, the installation program have a bug maybe, which led to this confusion
I will explain below

When I clicked to install 1Password, I got an error message, that 1Password cannot install
Since I am using my work computer, and we have an additional admin account
I used install as Admin

This installed 1Password in My Admin Account, but loaded it for the first time, in my current regular account
The Admin account since i never use it, didnt have a default browser set
When I clicked in link in 1Password, the popup i got was probably windows asking me to set a default browser
I select IE

So 1Password was using the default browser, but the default browser for the admin account

Anyway, for some reason (randomly), the app installed on my regular account
We have McAfee antivirus, maybe it was conflicting with it , and broke randomly

I dont know, but the install program, seem to have a bug, I hope that it installed safely
