    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.

This really isn't good enough. 

I have cancelled my subscription before it renews in three months. If this feature isn't added by then, I won't be reactivating it.

1Password used to be my go-to recommendation for a password manager, but the price is no longer justified when core features are missing from Windows and Linux, and I can't use the browser I want to use on my choice of operating system if I want my password manager to integrate correctly.

Lastly, if you are going to dictate what browsers people should be using with 1Password, then this list should be expanded. "We're not currently planning to expand support to specific browsers like Zen Browser." - you should be.

It's available in the nightly release channel for 1Password. I've been using it for a little while now and it's been working like it does on Mac OS
