    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 just wanted to add my voice here and say that I find it very unfortunate that Zen Browser is still not supported on Windows.
Zen has become my primary browser, and not having proper 1Password support is a real drawback in my daily workflow.
I hope official support for Zen Browser can be prioritized in the near future.

Thank you for the feedback. We're not currently planning to expand support to specific browsers like Zen Browser. Instead, we're working on our additional browsers feature that will allow you to add the browser of your choice to the 1Password for Windows app. We've just started testing the feature in the experimental nightly version of 1Password and we hope to bring it to the beta and then the production version as soon as possible.
