    Do you support Google Chrome?

    We’re working on supporting Google Chrome. Google’s browser is currently in a very early, evolving beta status, which makes it difficult to develop an extension. However, Google has recently re-enabled extension support in Chrome for Mac, and we have an early Alpha version of a 1Password Chrome extension available in the Chrome support forum. This is a very early version and is not feature complete. It is therefore only recommended for those who enjoy testing software and participating in forums to report issues. For everyone else, we recommend the 1Password Logins bookmarklet described below.

    1Password bookmarklet for Google Chrome (and other browsers)

    There is a way to get a little 1Password 3 in Chrome now using our Logins Bookmarklet feature. This allows you to use a custom bookmark containing just the Logins you want in Chrome, though it does not add many of 1Password’s other great features in our official browser extensions like Go & Fill, Identities, or filling credit cards into shopping carts. Those are on their way, as we are keeping an eye on Chrome’s development and extension support.

    How to add a 1Password Logins Bookmarklet to Chrome

    These steps will walk you through creating a Logins Bookmarklet with 1Password 3 or above, adding it to Safari, then importing it into Chrome.

    1. Create a Logins Bookmarklet in 1Password 3 from the gear menu in the lower left.

    Pick which logins and folders you want this bookmarklet to contain, set an Access Code at the top (make it a good one!), and click “Update Now” in the lower right to add the bookmarklet to Safari.

    2. Drag your Logins Bookmarklet from Safari to Chrome

    Alternate Version: If you want to import all Safari Bookmarks

    Chrome allows you to import all your bookmarks from Safari (and Firefox for that matter). If you go this route instead, you’ll have to move your Logins Bookmarklet to Safari’s Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar before importing into Chrome, as Chrome cannot see bookmarks in Safari’s “Collections” sidebar.

    After performing Step 1 from above, continue here:

    2. Organize your Logins Bookmarklet

    Chrome LoginsBookmarklet 2

    Because the Chrome For Mac beta does not yet offer bookmark organization features, you’ll need to organize your Logins Bookmarklet in Safari before importing to Chrome.

    By default, 1Password will add your Logins Bookmarklet to Safari’s Collections area, so you’ll need to move it to a more Chrome-friendly location. Open Safari, go to Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks, then click either the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu sections. Drag the Logins Bookmarklet into the section or folder you prefer.

    3. Import into Chrome

    The first time you start Chrome, it will offer to import your information from another browser. If this is your first time running Chrome, Make sure Safari is selected, then click “Start Google Chrome” to perform the import and get to Chroming.

    If you have already been running Chrome and need to import your Safari bookmarks, go to Chrome > Import Bookmarks and Settings option to start the import tool manually.

    How to use the Logins Bookmarklet

    When you need to log into a site in Chrome, just click your Logins Bookmarklet to open a nifty 1Password overlay window. Type in the Access Code you set in step 1, click the proper Login, and watch the magic happen.
