    Hello folks, 

    I'm happy to share that you can now add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password for Windows. Follow these steps: 

    1. Install 1Password in Zen Browser from the Firefox Browser Add-ons Store
    2. Add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app


    A couple of notes:

    • Make sure that Zen Browser is installed system-wide with admin permissions in the C:\Program Files folder.
    • Zen Browser is not an officially supported browser and you might run into unexpected issues. If you see those same issues with a supported browser like Firefox then let us know by starting a new discussion and we can investigate.

Hello l4kr! 👋

Thank you for reaching out! Are you using a Mac? As long as Zen Browser is properly code-signed, you should be able to add it as a custom browser:

  1. Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
  2. Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click Browser.
  5. Click Add Browser and choose your browser from the Applications folder.

 

The team hopes to bring the custom browsers feature to 1Password on other platforms (like Windows) in the future. For the time being, you may still be able to use 1Password in Zen Browser but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.
