    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.

Thank you for the feedback! I've shared your request with the team. 

But, you are clearly not bringing the Custom Trusted Browsers feature to Windows anytime soon, so why not whitelist Zen as well in the meantime? 

With our direct browser whitelisting process, we couldn’t support all requested browsers (like Zen Browser), which is why we’re building a new way for people to connect whichever browser they want across platforms: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app

I hope this helps clarify that support for additional browsers is being developed to address a previous limitation with the older process. We hope to share more news about Windows in the future.

I'm sorry, but how does that help? Both features aren't there anyway
