1Password4 does't work with Chrome in non-standard location

[pyro2927]

1Password installed from the Mac App Store can't communicate with Google Chrome when it's installed to ~/Applications.

Number 4 here:
http://learn.agilebits.com/1Password4/Mac/en/KB/filling-issues.html

Is it possible to sim-link to /Applications instead? Possible this is a wontfix, but I thought I'd check.

Ick! I use 1password from cask, so I didn't run across this.

You can change the target symlink dir to /Applications with an option - perhaps that will work?

...stupid mac app store.

I wonder if this was fixed in 4.0.5?

The release notes include "improved sandbox file access code" which seems to be right in the area of this problem.

@phinze I did some testing on a Mav VM and the issue is still encountered. Symlinking to /Applications yields the same error

Yeah this is what it says for me.

Good news - the 1password MAS license can transfer to a cask-installed 1password, which should work with a cask-installed Chrome. This should suffice as an official workaround. Less MAS == More Good 🎊 😀

[kevinSuttle]

So is there anything for users to do on their ends?

[phinze]

My (secondhand) understanding is that if you have a working 1password installed from MAS, your License file should automatically work with a cask installed 1password.

If this is not the case, you can switch the license to an Agilebits license by contacting them:

As of 1Password 5, iCloud syncing is only available via the Mac App Store distributed version which is unable to fill fields in the Homebrew Cask installed version of Google Chrome.

@johndbritton iCloud syncing has always only been available to MAS apps, as far as I know. In addition, as you can see if you read through this issue (and many similar others), there is nothing we can do about it, it is out of our hands.

I was using the Homebrew Cask version of 1Password 4 with iCloud with no troubles for quite some time. I just upgraded to 5 and the feature stopped working.

My post was mostly informational and to improve the likelihood of someone experiencing the problem finding this issue via search.
