    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.

I was ecstatic when at glance I saw this issue as resolved. But this was a total let-down. I'm sure every single one in this thread was aware of the Mac-only feature of manually adding Zen browser. This is a Windows issue (Linux to some extent, but fortunately there is a workaround). 

Can you please remove the "marked as solution" so we can still push for this feature to be implemented on Windows -- or at the very least add Zen Browser as a trusted browser? 

It's surprising that Arc is on this list, seeing as it is closed to being abandoned. You already know that Zen is being actively maintained as open-source, based on Firefox (an already approved browser to your standards).

Hey pillowdiver! Marking a response as a solution doesn’t mean the issue is closed—it's just meant to highlight the most up-to-date answer for anyone coming across the thread.

We won’t be unmarking it, but if anything changes regarding Windows support for custom browsers, we’ll update the Accepted Solution accordingly. 🙂
