    Hi @BobVi,

    Thanks for asking us about the new browser extension authorization feature! I'm glad you're thinking strongly about the security of your data - that's what we like to see! :)

    Yes, that is legitimate and is a new feature we just added to 1Password in order to improve the security of the communication with the browser extension. You only need to authorize it one time in that browser (unless you uninstall/reinstall the 1Password extension). You can find some more information here: If you see "1Password requires authorization" in your browser

    Sorry for any confusion about that! Hopefully this helps and you're able to successfully complete the extension authorization, but if you're having trouble with that or have more questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're here for you! :)
