If you suspect one or more of the above could be the reason behind your extension problems, proceed to try out our recommendations below.
Quick Tip:
Try installing the 1Password extension for Opera. The browser is built on Chromium, and all Google Chrome extensions are compatible with it as well.

How can I fix the 1Password can’t verify the identity of your web browser error?
1. Update your browser
If you’re having trouble verifying your web browser, make sure that you’re using a fully updated version of the browser.
1Password can only verify the identity of a web browser if it is the latest stable release and it must be up-to-date with all of its latest security patches.
2. Uninstall and reinstall the browser extension
3. Clear cookies
If the above solutions don’t bear any fruits, you can try resetting your browser or using another browser and see if the 1Password extension still can’t verify the identity of your web browser.
We also have an excellent list ofpassword managers with multi-factor authenticationthat you can install on your computer so be sure to check that out too.
