I don't have the Windows version myself, but to enable the advanced browser support I imagine you need to install the 1Password plugin in your browser.



Over on the Mac side, 1Password has a Browsers section in its settings where you can enable/install plugins for your preferred browsers. It looks like Internet Explorer (along with Chrome and Firefox) has a 1Password plugin over on Windows, so installing that should do the trick for you. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

saraho, welcome to the forum!



When your dad installed 1Password for Windows, it should've tested for presence of Internet Explorer[s][color=white], Firefox, and Chrome[/color][/s] and enabled the browser extension[s][color=white]s for any found[/color][/s].



Please ask you dad to see [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password_Windows/missing-1P-button.html"][i]Where is the 1P button in my browser?[/i][/url] in the [i]FAQ[/i] section of the user's guide. "Setting Up Browser Extensions" in the [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password_Windows/getting-started.html"][i]Getting Started[/i][/url] section contains additional information that may be useful.



We recommend new users take a few minutes to read the [i]Introduction[/i], [i]Getting Started[/i], and [i]Tutorial[/i] sections. They're short, but they provide most of the information you need to get up to speed quickly. As you use 1Password, you'll find the [i]FAQ[/i] section a useful resource.

We enable the IE extension automatically (if we find IE 7 or higher) but the other browser extensions you have to enable manually.

How embarrassing. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_blush.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(blush)' />



I did it so long ago that I'd forgotten that. Thanks, Stefan!



Sorry for the misinformation, saraho. I try not to do be so completely wrong very often.

He's got the button in the browser windows, so he can click "Save Login" manually, but the browser is not automatically prompting him to remember this password.



Thanks for the replies so far - got any more for this specific issue?

Oops!



If 1Password fails to detect the need to save a Login for one or two sites, please see [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password_Windows/tutorials.html#saving_a_login_item"][i]Saving a Login item[/i][/url] in the [i]Tutorials[/i] section of the user's guide.



If 1Password isn't offering to save Logins for [i]any[/i] sites, it may be that the option to do so has been disabled. There are two places that option can be toggled: on the Logins tab of 1Password preferences and in the 1Password dialog box that appears when you click the 1P button in the browser toolbar:

I hope that's a bit more helpful than my previous attempt. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_blush.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(blush)' />
