Support for Zen browser

Any updates on a solution? It has already been 3 months now and there is not even a workaround for Windows, which is the majority of OS'.

@vortexture and @faser

No workaround exists. 1Password for Windows only connecting with supported browsers is an important security feature that allows the 1Password desktop app to make sure that it only ever communicates with a vetted safe browser with a genuine code signature and not a malicious app pretending to be that browser. As mentioned earlier in the thread, the team hopes to build and release a secure way for users to add unvetted and unsupported browsers to 1Password for Windows in the future. I've let the team know that you'd like to use Zen Browser with 1Password for Windows.

Thank you for the request, I've shared it with the team. 🙂

Thanks for the reply @1P_Dave. It's not only about 1Password desktop connection, 1Password also doesn't work standalone in the browser, at least for people using EU domains (.eu domain).

I'm sorry that you're running into issues when adding your account to the browser extension. We're limited in how much assistance we can provide for browsers that we don't regularly test or support but I'll help as much as possible. I downloaded Zen Browser in a Windows VM, installed 1Password in the browser, and I was able to create and add a .EU 1Password account to the browser extension. Try these steps:

1. Open Zen Browser.
2. Install the 1Password browser extension from the Mozilla add-ons store.
3. Click on the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar.
4. Click Sign In on the welcome page.
5. A sign-in page will open. Scroll down and change your region from .COM to .EU in the dropdown menu:

1. Enter your account information and sign in.
2. Click Add account to add your 1Password account to the browser extension when prompted.

1. Wait a few moments until you see a notification that your account was added successfully.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Is there any ETA on when the ability to add unsupported browsers will be added in windows so we can get zen browser integration working?

@sonix288

I don't have an ETA to share. I've let the team know that you're eager to see the feature be built and released in 1Password for Windows, thank you for the feedback.

Dave,

You stated "No workaround exists. 1Password for Windows only connecting with supported browsers is an important security feature that allows the 1Password desktop app to make sure that it only ever communicates with a vetted safe browser with a genuine code signature and not a malicious app pretending to be that browser. "

With the utmost respect: why did 1Password create a workaround on Linux and MacOS but refuse to implement the same on Windows ? The angel in myself tells me this is to protect users as Windows is by default less secure. The devil in myself tells me the developers with their Linux machines like their more or less obscure browsers themselves (Vivaldi?) and created a quick workaround. It is hard to explain that creating an entry in the registry that is protected by UAC is less secure than creating a file in /etc/1password.

I'm not complaining as I use EndeavourOS as my daily driver but claiming the moral high ground is a bit problematic for me when the same risks exists on three OS-families but a workaround is provided on two of them.

Again, I say this with the utmost respect and I don't want to offend anyone. I just think people deserve an explanation why a workaround is provided on Linux and MacOS but not on Windows.

Kind regards,
