    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 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. 🙂
