    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.

Hi Dave, I would also be very interested in using 1Password in Zen on Windows. As I have been using 1Password for ages, I find it difficult to use a browser that is not supported by 1Password.

Zen is sort of the open source alternative to the “Arc” browser, which is already supported by 1Password and is trusted by default. Due to a fatal security vulnerability in Arc (already patched), many users are now considering switching to Zen.

What are the chances that Zen will be classified as a trusted browser in the near future?

Although the “Custom Trusted Browser” function on macOS is very practical and also desirable on Windows, I think it is easier for the developer team to classify the browser as trusted than to provide the function for Windows. Especially since the browser (Zen) is completely open source and based on Firefox, the security evaluation should be relatively easy.

Thank you very much!
