Hi @grpvw ,

I'd think 1Password is working correctly for you in the Vivaldi browser now. Allow me to explain what happened:

The native messaging files that are required for 1Password in the Vivaldi browser to talk with the desktop app will not be created automatically. That's why you are having the issues before. Gladly, you've discovered the workaround to create those files.

When you install 1Password in Chrome, the native messaging files are created for the communication. Vivaldi browser can use those files to establish the proper connection.

Now your 1Password in Vivaldi should share the same auto-lock settings as your 1Password desktop app.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
