Trusted Browser Support - Windows

Good Day! Is there any word on when trusted browser support will be available for the Windows version? I am using Floorp as my browser (I wanted a Firefox/Gecko based browser that supports Workspaces) but the Desktop app doesn't integrate with Floorp, nor is there any way to add it as a trusted browser.

It appears this feature to add a trusted browser is only available for Mac, so I am curious when it will be made available for Windows as well?


1Password Version: 8.10.26
Extension Version: 2.15.1
OS Version: Windows 11
Browser: Floorp

Hello folks, 

I'm happy to share that you can now add unsupported browsers as additional trusted browsers to 1Password for Windows. Follow these steps: 

  1. Install 1Password in your browser from the appropriate web-store.
  2. Add the browser as an additional browser to 1Password: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app


A couple of notes:

  • Make sure that your browser is installed system-wide with admin permissions in the C:\Program Files folder.
  • When using an unsupported browser you might run into unexpected issues. If you see those same issues with a supported browser like Firefox or Chrome then let us know by starting a new discussion and we can investigate.

I'd like to ask for support for custom browsers as well. I'd like to try that new Arc browser because reports sound interesting. However I will never use any browser without full 1Password integration, so I wouldn't actually consider trying that other browser. No matter how useful and better it might come out than my current browser.

Another vote from me. This needs to be added- there are so many browsers out there, and being limited by 1Password's integration is certainly frustrating. Thank you for continuing to improve your product!

Hey Dave,

Any idea when custom browsers will hit windows?
Sure i use it on mac and it does what we all need, but most of the market is in windows, makes no sense it did not hit it yet

^^^ Would love updates on custom browsers on Windows. I'm running 1password nightly Windows and 1password beta Firefox subscription but using a Firefox fork, not the official one.

Nowhere near as smooth operation when the addon and the desktop app aren't actually connected to each other, having to double unlock multiple times a day is a burden.

@spider623 and @apfsx

I don't have any news to share but I've let the team know that you're eager to see the feature be developed and released for Windows. 🙂

I just want to add to this, that I also experience the same issue described by @apfsx with the Opera GX Browser since about two weeks. From what I gathered it also comes down to the problem of not being a officially supported browser. All other features work for Opera GX after the login is down separately.

1Password for Windows 8.10.36 (81036010) | Opera GX - Your version is LVL 5 (core: 109.0.5097.142)

Fully agree. Have been happily using Floorp for a few months now, and the only detriment is not having 1Password integration. I have resorted to leaving my security settings significantly more open so as to not have to type my master so often.

Just another vote on this option. While a native Opera extension would be great, this option would work well instead. Any word on this?
