Using 1password extension with multiple chrome profiles

I've added the chrome browser extension to both chrome profiles, however when trying to sign into my 1pass accounts in the extension settings of my second chrome profile, I am unable to. I believe this is because I'm already logged into my 1pass accounts with the desktop app and my other chrome profile and so the chrome extension in my second chrome profile is somehow confused. Is this a known issue or am I missing something?

I'd like to be signed into both my 1password accounts in both my chrome profiles. All software is up to date


1Password Version: 7.8.6
Extension Version: 2.0.5
OS Version: OSX 11.3.1
Sync Type: Not Provided

    @jzwierzycki:

    If you ignore the keyboard shortcut for now, does the extension work as expected if you click on it in the second profile?

    hello, I am experiencing the same issue, or a similar issue where I am not able to use 1password properly in the 2nd profile. it only works in the 1st/default profile.
    specifically I am able to see the extension in the tab, but the normal [Command + \ ] doesn't work, nor does the embedded login/pass feature in the forms. In other words, I have to go to the desktop app to copy/paste passwords.
    I also have a work/personal split, and my 'organization' (work IT) manages the extension, so wondering if that may be part of the issue... pls lmk if there are steps I can take to make it work on both sides!

    Everything seems to work after deleting and reinstalling the extension on this non working profile again.

    Hi, I had exact same behaviour. Then I found out following.

    Just for the info:

    MacOS 10.15.7
    Chrome Version 92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (x86_64)
    I have 4 different 1Password accounts successfully subscribed.

    On both Profiles:
    1Password Chrome Extension Version 2.0.5.
    All accounts/vaults are active in settings.

    Profile #1 (default):
    Everything works well. Browser can fill the login form.

    Profile #2 (default):
    Browser didn't find the item, no suggestions even when I clicked the 1password icon.
    When I opened the search on the extension icon, I could find the item.

    Settings for the browser extension were same for both profiles.

    Temporary Solution:
    I had to change something in the settings.
    I changed language for example.
    After reloading the page autofill is working until I restart the browser.
    When I restart the browser it won't work until I change some extension settings.

    Another problem on the chrome profile #2 :
    Two-factor authentication with one-time passwords. won't work even after changing any settings in the extension. So this never works on the profile #2.

    Hi @bzawlocki

    I'm doing a similar thing on my computers, so it is possible. :) When you say:

    I am unable to

    Could you please elaborate? What specifically happens/doesn't happen? Is there an error message you're getting? Please let us know. Thanks.
