    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

Made an account just so I can say I've been following this thread for the last 5 months just hoping I could get feature parity across my devices. Really sad to see this marked as a solution. Hope this doesn't mean the team is going to sweep this issue under the rug now that it has been "solved". I just want to be able to use the browser I want without sacrificing functionality in 1password.

Hey madethisforzenbrowser! Just to clarify, marking a response as a solution doesn’t mean the conversation is closed or that we’re ‘sweeping the issue under the rug' but rather it simply is intended to highlight the most up-to-date answer for anyone coming across the thread.

As mentioned in Dave's response above, the team hopes to bring the custom browser feature to Windows in the future. When this changes, we’ll update the Accepted Solution accordingly. We appreciate the feedback!
