Limit your use of other browser extensions -- Best Practices
I'm trying to better understand the risks associated with active browser extensions that reside alongside 1Password's. The support document https://support.1password.com/1password-browser-security/ says..
Limit your use of other browser extensions. A malicious or badly made browser extension could interfere with 1Password or attempt to expose your data. If you need to use untrusted extensions, consider using a separate browser profile just for 1Password.
So I guess I have the following questions:
- Does trusted mean that it's not flagged as un-trusted by MacOS/Safari when I try to install it?
- Typically Safari extensions will also provide the caveat in the Permissions disclosure that says the extension.. "can read sensitive information from webpages, including passwords [...]" I'm assuming 1password gets around this issue with sandboxing, right?
- I use MacOS Safari as my primary browser with a just a few browser extensions. For logging into particularly sensitive accounts -- banking, medical, etc -- does 1Password recommend a separate browser or profile with just 1password installed as the sole extension?
Thanks, Marc
