Does 1Password work with IE9 64 bit?

OzzieOne

I'm running IE9 in 64 bit mode, because it is faster. However 1Password does not work any more. I read posts regarding the BETA but those are old now.

As documented, the 32-bit 1Password for Windows extensions do not work with 64-bit browsers:

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The problem with this is, with IE9, IE9 installs based on the O/S. That is, if I'm running 32-bit Windows, IE9 32-bit installs. But if I'm running 64-bit Windows, IE9 64-bit installs.



Given that my desktop has a lot of memory (12G), I really need 64-bit Windows to access the memory (I run a lot of VMs). Installing 32-bit Windows just to have 1Password integration is a bit much to ask for!



Given the prevelence of 64-bit Windows these days, might you reconsider your position here?



Thanks so much,

Jeff, are you saying there's no option to install 32-bit Internet Explorer in 64-bit Windows?



That would be a shame, because 1Password works fine in 64-bit Windows, but its 32-bit extensions work only with 32-bit browsers.

In 64-bit Windows, you have two versions of Internet Explorer: IE 64-bit and IE 32-bit.



The executable for IE 32-bit is located here:



[b]C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe[/b]



The executable for IE 64-bit is located here:



[b]C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe[/b]



Browse to the proper Program Files folder and create a shortcut to that version of [b]iexplore.exe[/b]

In the context of this discussion, I believe "the proper Program Files folder" would be [i]C:\Program Files (x86)[/i], so that you're integrating 1Password with the 32-bit edition of Internet Explorer.

Ah! I hadn't realized that, when you install IE 64-bit, it also installs a 32-bit version of IE for you.



That makes a huge difference to me (mostly because of 1Password)! Thanks so much for the advice, 1Password now works fine for me (with the browser).

That's good news, Jeff. Thanks for letting us know!

...I think it's a shame Agile isn't embracing the future of 64-bit, it's only been around on Windows for what...6 years now??? That's like 237 human years old!

I think the key word that's missing from your description, Chris, is "yet"; and we're a much smaller team than we might appear to be—it's all about resources and priorities.



Thanks for your patience!
