Do you support Google Chrome?
In short, YES! The current Chrome extension version is: 0.7.2
Installing 1Password’s Chrome extension
-
Make sure you have the latest 1Password 3 build installed (version 3.1.3 at minimum). To do this, run 1Password for Mac and click 1Password > Check for Updates.
-
Install Google Chrome on your Mac.
-
Run Chrome and visit this URL: http://aws.cachefly.net/aws/chrome/OnePasswordChrome-0.7.2.crx
-
Confirm that you would like Chrome to install the 1Password extension.
- Again confirm that you would like Chrome to install the 1Password extension.
The reason for the message is that the extension includes binary code that reads 1Password.agilekeychain, your 1Password data file. A pure JavaScript extension wouldn’t show this warning but then it also wouldn’t be able to read/write the data file.
- Finally, Chrome will let you know that the extension has been installed.
Updating the extension
Getting future updates is easy: Chrome does this for you automatically whenever an update is available. Once you’ve installed the extension, you don’t have to think about it anymore.
If by chance you need to perform a manual update, control-click the 1Password toolbar icon and select the “Manage Extensions” option.
On the chrome://extensions/ page, click the “Developer mode” link to expand it, then click the “Update extensions now” button.
Things to know
-
Technically, our Chrome extension is in alpha development: it is stable but not yet feature-complete. Since the extension is in the early stages of development, we’d love your feedback over in our Chrome forum.
-
1Password’s Chrome extension is only for the Mac. 1Password beta for Windows does not support Chrome.
-
If you’ve installed the extension and nothing happens, there are two things that you should verify: that you’re running at least version 3.1.3 of 1Password for Mac, and that you’ve restarted Chrome after installing the extension.
-
1Password for Chrome does not fill HTTP auth prompts at this time. This is because the HTTP auth window is not yet accessible to us.
