5 years agoNew setup of 1P browser extension only seeing one account (and not the default)?

Would there be a reason that it wouldn't add the main account and instead the secondary account in this instance?
In what order are the accounts added to the 1Password for Mac app? You can check it under 1Password Preferences > Accounts tab. The reason I ask is because the way 1Password unlocks is:
- If a Primary vault exists, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that vault, regardless of what, if any, memberships are signed in
- If a single 1Password membership is signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password for that membership account
- If multiple memberships are signed in, then it unlocks using the Master Password of the first added membership
So it sounds like the work account might be the first account you added to the 1Password app.
Not sure why my other browsers added both accounts (they've never shared the same password).
I think it might have been because of the old browser extension: the new extension works a bit differently (the integration with the desktop app has been a recent addition), while the old browser extension connected directly to the 1Password app. My understanding is that the old extension relied on the desktop app to do a lot of things, including the unlocking.
