Using 1password With Chrome



Learn how to set up and use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password on your PC with your face, fingerprint, or companion device.

Set up Windows Hello

Sync

Is it possible to use 1Password with Chrome for iOS? I’m running iOS 14.0, (the real final but previously I ran the beta versions). I’m running the newest version of chrome, that allows default browser switching, but I have not been able to get 1password to work the way it does in Safari and other apps. Open and unlock 1Password. Choose 1Password Settings, and click Security. Select “Allow Windows Hello to unlock 1Password”. Now you can use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password.

Before you can set up Windows Hello in 1Password, you’ll need to set up Windows Hello on your PC. Then follow these steps:

  1. Open and unlock 1Password.
  2. Choose 1Password > Settings, and click Security.
  3. Select “Allow Windows Hello to unlock 1Password”.

Now you can use Windows Hello to unlock 1Password. But don’t forget your Master Password. Sometimes you’ll need to enter it instead of using Windows Hello.

Use Windows Hello

After setting up Windows Hello, open 1Password.

You’ll see a message that Windows Hello is “Making sure it’s you”. Place your finger lightly on the fingerprint sensor or look at the camera to unlock 1Password.

Sometimes you’ll need to enter your Master Password instead of using Windows Hello:

  • If your face or fingerprint isn’t recognized, or there was an error on your companion device.
  • If you’re trying to change your Master Password
  • If you’ve restarted 1Password, including after updating 1Password or restarting your PC

If you still need help, follow these steps. Try again after each step:

If your fingerprint sensor or camera is frequently unavailable, like when you dock your laptop, you can turn off Settings > Advanced > “Show Windows Hello prompt automatically”. Then you can use your Master Password to unlock 1Password without dismissing Windows Hello first. If you still want to use Windows Hello when that setting is off, click the Windows Hello button or press Enter on the lock screen.

Windows Hello requires a Windows 10 device with compatible hardware. To find out if your device is compatible, go to Startmenu > Settings> Accounts > “Sign-in options”.
