2 years agoHey @seraphimalia, sorry about the delay in our response. I'm impressed with the troubleshooting you've done. You are correct that Brave has to be installed in /Applications for the extension and app to communicate. The 1Password app has to be installed in /Applications as well.
Due to the way the 1Password back-end secure communications work, if either the 1Password app or your web browser are installed outside of the /Applications directory, our communication protocols won't be able to properly verify the browser's code signature, and the app integration features of the 1Password app will not work. The main driving factor behind these communication protocols are from a security standpoint. They have been put in place to ensure your data is kept safe when it is being shared back-and-forth between the 1Password app and the browser extension.
I don't know if our developers will ever tweak how this works, but it doesn't hurt to create a feature request for it. I'll do that on your behalf. A reference number for the request can be found below.
