        "content": "Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide on how to **install and set up the 1Password extension in the Microsoft Edge browser**, as of June 2026:\n\n---\n\n## 1. Make Sure You Have What\u2019s Needed\n\n- You\u2019ll need a **1Password membership** (there is usually a free trial available). ([microsoftedge.microsoft.com](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dppgmdbiimibapkepcbdbmkaabgiofem?utm_source=openai))  \n- If using the extension with the 1Password desktop app (recommended), ensure you have the latest version installed. ([support.1password.com](https://support.1password.com/additional-browsers/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use an up-to-date version of Microsoft Edge to ensure compatibility. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-edge-extensions-frequently-asked-questions-a3ae1ebb-8e7f-49df-a5f8-8c3f56c8078b?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 2. Install the 1Password Extension\n\n1. Open Microsoft Edge.\n\n2. Click the **Extensions** icon (looks like a puzzle piece) near the top right of the browser. If you don\u2019t see it, click the three dots menu (Settings and more) \u2192 Extensions. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-edge-extensions-frequently-asked-questions-a3ae1ebb-8e7f-49df-a5f8-8c3f56c8078b?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. Choose **\u201cGet Extensions for Microsoft Edge\u201d** to go to the Edge Add-ons store. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/add-turn-off-or-remove-extensions-in-microsoft-edge?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. Search for **\u201c1Password\u201d** and select the official extension by AgileBits, Inc. ([microsoftedge.microsoft.com](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dppgmdbiimibapkepcbdbmkaabgiofem?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. Click **\u201cGet\u201d** \u2192 then **\u201cAdd extension\u201d** when Edge prompts you, approving the required permissions. ([microsoftedge.microsoft.com](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dppgmdbiimibapkepcbdbmkaabgiofem?utm_source=openai))\n\n6. Wait for it to install\u2014you\u2019ll see the 1Password icon appear to the right of the address bar. ([digitaltrends.com](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/1password-extension-available-microsoft-edge/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Connect to Your 1Password Account\n\n1. Click the 1Password icon in Edge\u2019s toolbar.\n\n2. If you already have an account:\n   - Sign in using your **email**, **Secret Key**, and **Master Password**.  \n   - If the desktop app is installed and configured properly, the extension and app will integrate, letting you unlock using system-level authentication (e.g., biometrics or Windows Hello). ([support.1password.com](https://support.1password.com/additional-browsers/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. If you don\u2019t have an account, you\u2019ll be prompted to create one (AgileBits offers signup directly from the extension). ([microsoftedge.microsoft.com](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dppgmdbiimibapkepcbdbmkaabgiofem?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 4. Grant Needed Permissions & Set Preferences\n\n- Once installed, go to **Edge \u2192 Extensions \u2192 Manage Extensions**, locate 1Password, and click **Details**. Here you can manage permissions, site access, and other settings. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-edge-extensions-frequently-asked-questions-a3ae1ebb-8e7f-49df-a5f8-8c3f56c8078b?utm_source=openai))  \n- Decide if you want the extension to work only on specific sites, or show automatically when needed. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-edge-extensions-frequently-asked-questions-a3ae1ebb-8e7f-49df-a5f8-8c3f56c8078b?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 5. Using the Extension\n\n- **Auto-fill:** When on a site with a saved login, click the 1Password icon in the toolbar, or use keyboard shortcuts (like `Ctrl + \\`) to fill in credentials. ([1password-extension-edge.pages.dev](https://1password-extension-edge.pages.dev/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Save new logins:** After manually logging in, the extension may offer to save your username and password for future use. ([microsoftedge.microsoft.com](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dppgmdbiimibapkepcbdbmkaabgiofem?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Generate strong passwords:** You can use the built-in password generator when signing up for new accounts. ([microsoftedge.microsoft.com](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dppgmdbiimibapkepcbdbmkaabgiofem?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## 6. Keep It Updated & Troubleshoot Common Issues\n\n- Edge automatically updates extensions. To check the version: go to **Extensions \u2192 Manage Extensions \u2192 Details** for 1Password. ([support.1password.com](https://support.1password.com/update-1password-browser/?utm_source=openai))  \n- If the extension isn\u2019t working correctly (not filling logins, not showing up, etc.), try disabling and re-enabling it, or removing and reinstalling. Also make sure Edge is up to date. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/microsoft-edge-extensions-frequently-asked-questions-a3ae1ebb-8e7f-49df-a5f8-8c3f56c8078b?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through setting it up with particular settings (autofill only on certain sites, security lock times, etc.). Do you want help with that too?"
