For ex. Alt+1 will open the first app I have in my dock. When I open the Chrome created with this method, it always opens a new window instead of bringing the already running window to the front.

If you don't have it, then it is better to erase all the synced data in Privacy Dashboard (I think the message provides a link for that), then re-sync from the profile that still works and choose a password that you remember.<br /><br />In theory there might be a way to retrieve the password from the already working profile, but I'm not aware of that. I'd suggest to:<br /><br />1, Stop syncing on the already existing account.<br />2, Remove data in the Privacy Dashboard<br />3, Restart syncing on the already existing account with the password you choose.<br /><br />After that you'll be able to set up syncing in the second profile with the password.<br /><br />BalázsdLuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945588980761020541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478332192799843753.post-64366920550438249632012-05-18T14:01:45.038+02:002012-05-18T14:01:45.038+02:00my sync doesnt work on second browser

After an email exchange with their support, I got the URL. So installing the 1Password extension can be done by navigating to http://aws.cachefly.net/aws/dmg/1PW3/English/OnePasswordChrome.crx . The advantage of this is that it auto-updates itself, unlike the manual install method.Balázs Szabóhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024610564591844697noreply@blogger.com
