    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.  

    -Dave

Hello everyone,

The old process of manually vetting browsers resulted in only a very limited number of browsers being supported, the amount of work required to vet a browser made it impossible to review and approve every browser that was requested by customers and only a small number made it through the process. This told our team that we needed to change the process and that's why we're hoping to release a custom additional browsers feature in the future so that you can use any browser with 1Password for Windows whether our team has approved it or not.

Your requests and feedback are important and are all considered by the team. Which features are implemented (and when) depends on a variety of factors that include: consideration for our existing product roadmap and planned features, urgent bug fixes that need to be prioritized over feature requests, available development resources, other customer feedback, and more.

Please continue to voice your feedback, it helps us to make 1Password better for everyone even if a specific feature isn't implemented right away. 🙂
