    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.

Then just manually approve Zen because clearly there is a lot of demand for it here. I'm seriously considering moving away from 1password due to the absolute stubbornness in refusing to provide feature parity in a reasonable timeline nor a stopgap while we wait.

gshorr I get that this is frustrating, and I’m not here to dismiss that. But I want to be clear: manual browser approvals aren’t coming back. It’s not stubbornness—it’s a conscious shift in how the feature is designed and maintained moving forward.

We’ve been transparent about the direction here, and while we recognize it’s not the answer some folks want, we’re focused on long-term, cross-platform support through the custom browser feature.

I won’t have anything new to share until there’s meaningful progress on the Windows and Linux side, so if this feature is a dealbreaker for you, we respect that, truly—but continuing to push here won’t change the direction we're headed with this.
