    Hello everyone! 

    Thank you all for the continued feedback! For security reasons, the 1Password desktop app will by default only connect to supported browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Edge and Arc. If you're using a Mac then you can add Zen Browser as an additional browser to the desktop app: 

    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.

    Adding additional browsers is currently only available for the Mac and Linux. We're not regularly adding new supported browsers individually since that isn't a long-term and sustainable solution however I've shared your requests to support Zen Browser with our product team. We hope 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 on your Windows PC but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.

1P_Dave Can I ask why you stopped approving new browsers before you had the custom trusted browser feature ready on all platforms, especially the biggest (Windows)?
I really don't get it, and it really sucks to see that you're apparently still not working on it, you're just passing along feedback that people "want it"?

I thought the days of 1Password being a Mac-first company were somehow over, but I guess not... :(

I guess to get your team to approve a new browser, it has to be built for Mac-first, like the Arc browser, to get your team to approve it even after you have "stopped" doing so.. :/
