restore login from Archive using Chrome extension on a Mac where Desktop app is not installed

I am trying to restore a login from Archive using Chrome extension on a Mac where Desktop app is not installed. I tried the 1Password chat, which told me to find the Sidebar, then couldn't tell me what the Sidebar was. Please help.

    Hello KazuT​! 👋

    Thanks for the question. If you don't have the desktop app installed, then you can restore an item from the Archive by using the web app in your browser: 

    1. Log in to your 1Password account on 1Password.com (in the browser, not the app).

    2. Click View vaults items in the sidebar.

    3. The web app will open, scroll down in the sidebar and click on Archive. 
    4. Click on the item that you'd like to restore then click on the ellipsis icon in the top right corner of the item and click Restore item. 

    You can read more about restoring items from the Archive here: Archive or delete items on 1Password.com

      Thanks! I ended just recreating the login; it was easier than finding my secret key, etc.
