Is it possible to use the Firefox extension with the LibreWolf browser on Mac and Windows?
Thanks for the reply. As far as I'm aware, it's not possible for Firefox extensions to request and use biometric authentication by themselves. To unlock 1Password in the browser, the 1Password desktop app must be installed and the browser extension has to be trusted by the desktop app in order to facilitate communication between the desktop app and the browser extension.
The "shared locked state" between the desktop app and the browser allows you to use biometrics, or your Apple Watch, to unlock both the desktop app and the browser extension at the same time. If you're only using the browser extension, or you're using a browser that isn't trusted by the desktop app, then you'll need to unlock 1Password in the browser using your account password.
