Step 8: Proceed to Section 5

You're done!... at least with this part. Please proceed to Section 5 to install 1Password on your phone or other mobile device. Note that Section 4 is optional. If you have any questions, contact IT for help.

Troubleshooting:

If you are running into issues please check these items:

  • Disable other password managers. Window menu -> Extensions -> click the slider for other managers so that they are gray, not blue.
  • In the same Extensions window, ensure 1Password's slider is blue.
  • If you have just disabled other extensions, a browser restart may be needed for things to operate normally.
  • Chrome ➝ Preferences ➝ Autofill ➝ Passwords should look like this:

  • Be aware that when a page first loads you'll be offered usernames and passwords from 1Password (if 1Password is selected as your autofilling app in preferences, this should automatically occur, but might take disabling LP.)  If you click elsewhere, the icon won't show up until your mouse has clicked on a user/pass field.
  • If 1Password is still not offering logins, the URL might not be saved correctly.  Less-specific URLs are often better than extremely specific (long) ones, but not always.  The most common offender is a completely different domain for the same service e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/ and https://login.live.com/ - if you've saved microsoft.com and the login page is at login.live.com, autofill won't be offered at all.  Just add the second URL under the first, no need to remove the first.
