    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.

The team previously conducted extensive vetting of each individual browser that was added as a supported browser to 1Password. Since there are so many browsers out there, and it was impossible to vet each one, this process was only conducted for a small number of browsers that were being used by a certain threshold of our customers and that left other browsers behind.

As far as I'm aware the team isn't planning to bring back the old individual browser vetting and approval procedure as a regular process since not many browsers meet the threshold and it isn't sustainable. I've passed your comments along to the team so that they know that you'd find the custom trusted browsers feature useful if it was added to 1Password for Windows so that you can use Zen Browser (and potentially other unsupported browsers of your choice) with 1Password's app integration feature.
