    Hello apb1pass​! 👋

    Thank you for reaching out. The team used to have to extensively vet different browsers and add support manually but we now have a feature that allows users to choose their own trusted browsers. You can add a custom trusted browser to 1Password for Mac by following these steps:

    1. Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
    2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click Browser.
    5. Click Add Browser and follow the prompts to add your chosen browser.


    Our team is working on releasing a similar feature for Windows in the future.

Hi,

As one person who insisted to get this feature on Windows, I want to report that I installed 1Password  125.0.5729.21 (December 2025 release if I'm right) and that the ability to add other browsers works perfectly (I'm personally using Opera). I was impressed by the integration with sites requesting a password change and the automatic suggestion of a new password!

One minor complaint: it is only possible to add browsers installed in main Program folder. I had to reinstall Opera for all users rather than just for me to be able to select it. I probably missed something but I am not sure why such a restriction and what it really brings in terms of additional security. But it is not a showstopper for me and probably I could have installed Opera just for me changing the installation folder to C:\Program and 1Password would have been happy. The main drawback that I see to this restriction is that it makes automatic updates a bit more complicated (execute as administrator required, as my account has no administrator rights).
