TouchID unlock doesn't work on Opera

I'm using Opera version 84.0.4316.31 (arm64) on a macOS (other environment versions provided below). I unfortunately can't unlock my 1Password browser extension using any of the biometrics: TouchID or Apple watch. Can you please advise?


1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: 2.3.2
OS Version: macOS 12.1

    Hi, I am also using Opera and the biometrics login was working before I updated to the new 1password version. Based on that experience and your answer @Joy_1P , I feel that you blocked the other browsers on purpose. But is it really necessary? I don't see any reason why you would do that, the extension is totally the same as for Chrome.
    I need Opera for my work because your supported browsers don't have the features I need (even basic ones). As a paid tool I think you could adapt a little instead of blocking proper usage...
    But if you insist on that, is there an easy way to downgrade?
    Thanks

    Hey @jareality! Since Opera is not a browser that we officially support, it does not connect to the app to share a lock state and therefore would not unlock with biometrics. I recommend using one of our supported browsers to unlock with biometrics and for the overall best experience: https://support.1password.com/getting-started-browser/
