1Password: Password Manager by 1Password
Review by swcolegrove
Rated 5 out of 5
by swcolegrove, 4 years agoMy original review for this extension was 5 stars. Recently the extension stopped working. I reached out to support and I guess it no longer works if you do not have FireFox set to remember your history.
I have my browser set to delete all history whenever the browser closes. I do this for privacy and security - something I thought 1P would be supportive of.
The fact that the extension can only work if the browser remembers your history is totally unacceptable.
I am aware the the classic extension works - but is tied to the awful desktop app. I do not want to use the classic extension or the awful desktop app. This extension used to work perfectly fine. Get your stuff together 1P team.
== Update to developer response: ==
My settings are "History: use custom settings" With only "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked and nothing else.
These have always been my browser settings and I have not changed them. The extension is suddenly working again so I'm not sure what exactly was going on, but I am restoring my 5 star review

posted 4 years agoHey there swcolegrove,
Nothing has recently changed for us on that front, if you have Firefox set to “Always use Private Browsing” and disable the “Remember History” simultaneously, then the extension will not be able to initialize properly since it can’t write the necessary files into Firefox’s local storage (due to how Firefox handles IndexedDB requests with these options turned on).
You can, however, disable one of these options and open a new private browsing window manually, which will allow you to keep your privacy and not remember any history, while having 1Password functioning properly.
It is only the combination of these settings that prevents the extension from functioning, but these two settings overlap each other and one of them can be disabled without losing any privacy or security.
Thank you for the kind review CptTim!
Enjoy your 1Password and stay safe. :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18768772, 14 days agoMade the mistake of having auto updates on. this extension no longer supports version 7 and a paid subscription is required to use the tool. Pointless now. Do not use.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel Landeros, a month agoIt looks like they fixed the log in issue on firefox, at least for now. Will update again if it fails.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Anngie1984, a month agoI had the old standalone version which worked Great until they stopped supporting it this fall and I was forced to get the subscription version. Now it takes almost a full minute for the extension to even offer me the option to enter my master password. It also has to reload the extension about every 8th opening so I concur with others who've said it does not work well with Firefox. I can only hope the developers are working to improve it with this browser. Once activated it is still a good password manager tool.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Stoian Slavchev, a month agoGreat app, no issues, no worries, it "just" work. Probably the best solution when you are working on several computers and need to "share" credentials between different OS (Windows, Linux & MAC).

Anybody know of a registry edit to disable it? - Rated 3 out of 5by Andre, a month agoSince the last update on December 11, the extension has stopped working with 1Password Mini from version 6 of the software. Anyone else having this problem?
