Orion 0.99.125 - July 31, 2023
1Password is now compatible with Orion thanks to the joint effort between 1Password and Orion teams.
To use 1Password in Orion you will need the latest version of
1Password browser extension (you can get it with Orion -> Popular Extensions->
1Password) and the
desktop app (build 81009030 +, you need to be on 1Password nightly build update
channel, set it in 1Password Settings > Advanced > Release Channel) which allows browser whitelisting
(you will need to add Orion as a whitelisted app).
We have new a Orion documentation website, make sure to check it
out!
