Since Chrome has Google's noodly appendages all over it, I wasn't sure if it was best to keep a 'safe distance' from the browser itself? (There's a bit of irony in this question since I've been using Chrome's password manager for years, so all of my logins are already firmly lodged in the belly of Google.)
Or should I forego using Chrome altogether? I'm brand new to 1Password (I just started a trial) so I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to what's going on behind the scenes.
I use 1Password on a Mac with the M1 Pro Chip. For the last couple weeks, the 1Password Chrome extension has be slow and unresponsive. After starting Chrome, after clicking the 1Password extension icon, the extension takes ~15-20 seconds to open. After the extension opens for the first time after launching Chrome, it's a bit more responsive, but still takes ~2 seconds for any operations (i.e., opening the extension directly, automatic password fills, MFA popovers, etc.)
I've tried the steps outlined in this post, but it does not resolve the issue.
I'm on the latest version of Chrome, the 1Password extension for Chrome, and the 1Password desktop app:
1Password for Mac
8.10.56(81056028)1Password browser extension version
8.10.56.28Chrome Version
131.0.6778.140
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any advice on how to get the 1Password extension responsiveness back for Chrome?
Edit: Upgrading to Chrome Version 132.0.6834.84 (the latest as of January 16, 2025) resolved my issue.

I purchased a "Perpetual" license for 1Password 7 just one week before they announced the switch to a subscription-based model. To me, it's frustrating and feels like an unfair business practice. Why sell a perpetual license and then make it nearly impossible for your customers to get the extension for supported browsers and operating systems?
If I choose to continue using "outdated" software and OS, that's my choice, but at the very least, I should be able to access the tools I paid for. I also strongly resist buying into subscription-based software and entering what I see as the "Subscription Exploitation Economy."
I've tried downloading the extension "1Password-4.7.5.90.crx" from multiple sources, only to be hit with the infamous "Error 400." I even found official posts from 1Password staff linking to the file, but the same error persists.
Does anyone know where I can download the classic extension that works for 1Password 7? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
When I try to set up the 1Password browser extension in Chrome, there are 3 options:
1Password - Password Manager (Most reviews and ratings)
1Password Beta
1Password Nightly (never seen this one before)
So I found at post that mentioned you can turn off the option to make 1password the default password manager in Chrome via the extension and allow Chrome's password manager to continue to work.
But doing so seems to turn off 1password from catching new accounts and saving those passwords.
Is there a way to have both working at the same time so that new accounts/passwords are saved to both the Chrome password manager and 1password without having to manually create a new account in one of them?
Isn't the 1 Password browser extension for Chrome supposed to lock itself upon quitting/closing just the Chrome browser (not restarting or locking the windows 10 computer) then requiring 1P browser extension to be unlocked upon restarting the Chrome browser.
I used to use a Chrome extension called "1 Password - Application Required" on Chrome that worked pretty well.
I had that extension and had 1passsword installed locally and everything worked fine. I did CTRL+SHIFT+X to fill passwords etc...
Now that extension is gone? Seems like the only available is the "1 Password" where it does not intereact with the locally intalled one.
So now I kinda have 2 1password instances running (locally and browser), they both use different shorcuts since the browser one uses CTRL+SHIFT+X... if I set them to the same shortcut its like they will conflict?
I don't get it. Am I not supposed to use the locally installed App?
1password classic.
We want as many users as possible on the newer extension for its features and improved reliability and saving. If you still need the classic extension for the time being, it's available here:
https://support.1password.com/cs/1password-classic-extension/
Let me know if there's anything I can clear up for you. :)
Former Dashlane user trying to make the switch to 1Password and struggling a bit with how this is supposed to work. Just learned that the Chrome 1Password X extension works separately from the main Windows 10 app that I installed.
1Password X may results in having to re-enter my master password between browsing sessions, which is not my preference. My question is, what value does 1Password X bring that the non-x extension doesn't have? Trying to decide if I should change chrome extensions.
I am a longtime 1Password user who recently switched to the 1Password X extension for Chrome. For me, the big advantage of 1Password X is the inline interface, which pops up the password in the password field just as you need it. It is particularly effortless for changing passwords and two-factor authentication (and I highly recommend using 1Password for your two-factor authentication).
You have already identified the biggest downside of 1Password X: having to log in separately. But the developers are working on fixing that by integrating 1Password X with the desktop app. It was supposed to be ready by end of the year, now delayed but coming soon. https://1password.community/discussion/comment/579493/#Comment_579493
It’s a little annoying having to type in your master password twice each time 1Password is locked, but to me it’s worth it. I love the look and feel of 1Password X. It’s sleeker than the actual app.
As the title says.... I figured this was the most basic function that it'd offer but it doesn't do this by default. I had lastpass previously and it would offer to save my username/password after a successful login if it didn't already have it stored.
I'm using the most up-to-date Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-%E2%80%93-password-mana/aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa
Can't remember if the phone app does this. But do I have to enable it on the Android app as well?
Hey everyone, brand new to 1Password here:
Currently having issues getting the Chrome extension (2.3.7) to work. Basically, whenever I open the extension, there's a button that says "Open 1Password" which does nothing when clicked. If I disable integration with the Windows app, it prompts me for a password, after which it hangs with a loading symbol seemingly infinitely. Even if I enter in an incorrect password (or no password at all), it does the same. The farthest I've gotten is with quitting both the browser and the Windows app, reopening the browser, and then opening the extension. This opens the Windows app and prompts me for a password there, which successfully unlocks the app. On the extension, however, it simply says "Unlocking" and hangs. Attempts to click the 1Password button on field inputs fail as well.
I'm currently on Chrome version 105.0.5195.54, and my Windows 10 installation is fully up to date. If it helps, here is a list of everything I've tried:
Reinstalling 1Password 8 (the Windows app)
Reinstalling the Chrome extension
Turning off desktop app integration (and also turning it back on afterwards)
Closing the app and the browser, then opening the browser first
Closing the app and the browser, then opening the app first
Restarting the browser
Restarting the computer
Using a freshly made Chrome profile
Downgrading to 1Password 7 (extension behavior did not change)
Turning off adblocker extensions
Disabling all other extensions through chrome://extensions
Not sure what else to do, or if there is another solution out there that I couldn't find. Would very much appreciate any suggestions regarding this. Thanks!
Ive noticed that many times when trying to quickly find something using 1password chrome extension, that i always end up needing to go back to the app.
Just struggling to understand why Tag's exist if you cant even use this feature in your browser?
Is there any reason why Tagging cant be added to 1password extensions? This is just one of quite a few inconsistencies i've noticed. You can also notice that the order of certain items appears different between the two of them also.
Hey, u/mailboxdavidb. Broadly the apps have more of a focus on the managing of your library of items and the extensions, mini and Quick Access offer a more compact interface focussed on filling via suggestions or searching. If you let us know more about how you would like to see tags work within the extension we can absolutely get this raised with the team though.
And if you'd like to send us more information on a private channel if f you send an email to [email protected] with a link to your post in your message we'll have a member of the team reach out.
As for the ordering, thanks for the heads up and we've already got this fixed in 1Password 8. 👍
Unfortunately, this is one of the main reasons I'm switching away from 1P
I don't have time to spend back and forth with support. Can someone point me at a link to download (and downgrade) to v6 please?
Just yesterday I started having issues with my 1Password extension. I'm on Windows 10, using the most recent version of Chrome and the 1Password extension, and using version 7.9.835 of the installed application.
When I click on 1Password within Chrome, I get the message "Oops, something when wrong while loading" and clicking Reload 1Password, which doesn't actually do anything. The desktop app works perfectly fine.
How to download Chrome extension which would work with a standalone 1Password 7 with a lifetime license? Firefox extension works just fine (and it’s what I’m using 98% of the times), but Chrome extension has been giving me headaches…
Just to clarify: I use this standalone for work because we are not allowed to store any company credentials in a cloud. I can never use 1Password 8 for work because there is no standalone version.
How secure is using the Chrome Extension on a potentially unsecure website? For instance, when you go to a website that requires a login, 1Password will prompt you to type your Master Password into the Chrome extension icon in order to populate your username and password. Could the website that you are trying to log into (or hackers of that website) track your keystrokes and therefore gain knowledge of your Master Password. If a website could track track your keystrokes, it would not be too hard to figure out that it is a password of a password manager, they could see your account information after you login (e.g. if it is a bank account (probably not because hopefully they are secure enough to not be hacked easily) there would be immediate access to your identity and email accounts) and then potentially be able to try putting combinations of your email and Master Password on all the major password managers. I am hoping to hear that this is not such a possibility but it feels weird typing my master password while on a potentially unsecure websites page. Perhaps the Chrome extension environment is completely separate from the website but I am not sure how all of the programs interact. Please help me alleviate my fears. I obviously have two-factor authentication on my important accounts which brings me to a bonus question: how difficult is it to intercept text messages? Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share with me.
New 1Password user coming from Lastpass. I have been using Google Chrome browser on my iPhone instead of Safari. I just realized that Apple does not allow browser extensions on Chrome for IOS. With 1Password it doesn’t give the suggestions when creating or updating the password field and it seems very limited. Also I can’t figure out how to easily generate passwords when needed on IOS. All that seems to work fine on Windows 11 with Chrome, but not from the iPhone. Am I missing something? Thanks for helping
