    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.

I understand the importance of ensuring security and compliance, but this delay for such a critical feature feels unwarranted. As both a business and personal user, the hesitation seems unnecessary given the circumstances. The Zen Team has gone above and beyond to ensure their app signatures meet your requirements, adhering strictly to your guidelines. Despite this, there doesn't appear to have been any progress or changes on 1Password's side.

While I appreciated the exception made for Arc on Windows, this seems to be the only instance of flexibility. Is there any way to expedite this process? Perhaps there's someone specific I could reach out to for further advocacy, as it feels like these concerns are not being addressed.

Many Zen users, including myself, are facing significant challenges with this on Windows. It's increasingly frustrating and makes me reconsider continuing with 1Password. I deeply value the platform but having to log in every time I need to access resources in my preferred browser undermines the user experience. This functionality should be a user-driven choice, not one dictated by hardcoded limitations.
