To open a link in a non-default browser, you must use the extension’s “Open and Fill” or go to the site directly. I do it this way for two reasons: one, some sites don’t display the login fields directly on the page anymore, but instead hide them with a script or on a separate page (with a link that you can never trust will remain the same), and so they won’t always get properly autofilled using “Open and Fill” and two, I use multiple browsers regularly, and using “Open and Fill” from the app uses only the default browser. I’ll use my bookmarks in the browser to go to the site, then Command-\ to fill the username and password. In the browser, I use the extension directly-but even then, I don’t use the “Open and Fill” button there. I use the app only to manage my entries and access the ones that don’t get used in the browser (such as in-app logins and license codes). I’ll admit that I have never used “Open and Fill” in the app (either the full app or the menu bar app) to choose links to visit, so that’s something that didn’t occur to me to test. It’s only a matter of time and v7 will pass into the mists as 1Password moves forward with v8. If you can’t upgrade to 1Password 8 because your Mac has an older version of macOS, you can keep using the browser extension for Safari that’s included with 1Password 7 for Mac.”ĭoesn’t this say we can continue using v7 with the browser extension that we’ve been using all along? Clearly, as browsers are updated in the future the v7 extension will become increasingly obsolete, but it seems to say it will continue working at least for the time being. "If you use Safari and 1Password 7 for Mac, upgrade to 1Password 8 and get 1Password for Safari. “On July 10, 2023, the 1Password classic extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave will no longer be supported.” ’stop working’ and ’no longer be supported’ are not the same things to me. The headline says the extension will stop working, but the article says it will no longer be supported for some browsers (Chromium based?) without mentioning Safari. Sooner or later, yes, I’ll have to make a choice but I think I can squeeze some more time out of the status quo yet. Yes, it’s a pain to manually fill in username and password but I used to do this manually with 1Password for years before using the extension, and that ol’ muscle memory still let’s me do it via the keyboard fairly easily. That said, I can’t say that this is (yet) a death-knell for me using 1Password7. 1Password “new” extension v2.10.0, last updated May 31, 2023.1Password classic extension v4.7.5.90, last updated June 9, 2022.1Password version 7.9.6 I have a single, standalone vault stored on my iMac.I’m running Firefox on macOS 10.14.6, on a 2017-circa iMac.I then disabled the new extension, re-enabled the classic extension, and tested everything again (I completely exited out of 1Password and relaunched it for each test same for Firefox.) With the classic extension, the username and password fields are automatically filled again. From 1Password 7, I clicked on the links to several different sites I launch frequently with 1Password this opened the web pages in Firefox, but did not automatically fill in the username and password fields on the web page. Unfortunately, that’s appears not to be the case if you’re using a standalone vault (i.e., stored on your Mac) – at least for me.ĭetails: After reading this thread (thank you for the warning, Sebby!), I disabled the classic 1Password extension I’ve been using for years, and downloaded and installed the new 1Password extension. The new extension works just fine with 1Password 7.
