Hello Aksh2023! đź‘‹

Thank you for reaching out. The 1Password for Windows desktop app will only connect to a certain number of trusted browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, that have gone through a vetting and approval process. Floorp isn't one of these browsers and so it won't be able to connect to the desktop app, this means that you'll need to unlock 1Password in Floorp separately each time that you restart your browser.

Earlier this year, the team released a custom trusted browsers feature for 1Password on the Mac which allows you to add your own trusted browsers as long as they have a valid code signature. This feature isn't yet available on Windows and I'll let the team know that you would find it useful.

Let me know if you have any questions.

-Dave

    Hello 1P_Dave​, may I please know if this has been resolved? I am unable to connect 1password extension in Zen Browser (Firefox based) to 1password desktop app on Windows. 

    Why only the Mac version gets all the love? :)
    It would have been good if the "Add your own trusted browser" feature was also available on Windows.

      Thanks for the ping! Different operating systems pose different challenges which may require more work and more time for our development team to find a solution for. We never want to compromise security so we'd rather delay a feature on a certain platform instead of releasing it when it's not yet ready.

      That being said, we're currently testing the additional browsers feature in the latest nightly version of 1Password for Windows. The nightly version is experimental and we hope to release the feature to the beta and then the production version of 1Password for Windows as soon as possible.
