Integration for custom browsers

I use self-built chromium browser. I always know 1Password cannot connect to chromium since it's not signed. However,

  1. https://1password.community/discussion/120954/how-the-browser-integration-works This post mentioned about custom_allowed_browsers. Does it mean you can connect to any browsers on Linux? Will this come to Mac/Windows?

  2. I fail to see how not allowing connection makes 1Password safer. You can use the browser extension on its own anyway. If the browser is compromised, you passwords are compromised anyway, no matter you allow connection to desktop app or not.

All in all, I want to unlock 1Password in my chromium with fingerprints.


1Password Version: 7.9.4
Extension Version: 2.2.0
OS Version: macOS 12.3.1

  • No, not at this time. Perhaps that will change in the future. My apologies, that I do not have anything concrete to share with you.

    Windows user here, and I'd really love to see 1Password supporting Chromium. It's a PITA to type in my long and tedious master password every time I restart the browser. I've been waiting for this feature for years!

    @lovestudykid I was just going to say this exact post. I didn't know they were working on the integration. I was https://1password.community/discussion/119505/another-vote-for-waterfox-integration. But then just earlier today I was thinking "If most browsers are using Chromium or Mozilla base, and we can use 1PX by itself....why not allow users a method to manually add browser support for auto-unlocking.

    Why does AgileBits get to be the sole arbiter of which browsers can be used?

    I also agree with your argument that the browser potentially being compromised does not make sense. If the browser was compromised, it would be regardless of whether 1P desktop unlocked it or the user unlocks 1PX separately.

    Just want to chime in here to ask if this is possible on MacOS yet? I'm using build of chromium as well and the 1password extension is not integrating with the 1password app. Thanks.

  • Hello @lovestudykid,

    Yes, we do have a plan for Mac and Windows users to freely select the browser they want to work with 1Password instead of waiting for us to update code signature. However, I don't have an ETA for this feature at the moment, so please be patient and stay up to date with the latest version of 1Password. That is the best way to get all the fixes and features.
