    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.  

    -Dave

    Yet another +1 for Zen Browser. It's genuinely absurd to me that the functionally abandoned, closed source Arc is supported while Zen isn't

    I tested the steps again just now and I was able to add a .EU account to the 1Password extension in Zen Browser. This suggests that something might be different about your setup. Although Zen Browser isn't a supported browser, the team will help as much as possible.

    Please send an email to support+forum@1Password.com and include the following link: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/724074/#Comment_724074

    After emailing in, you'll receive a reply from BitBot, our friendly robot assistant with a Support ID that looks something like [#ABC-12345-678]. Post that here, and I'll be able to locate your message and make sure that it gets to the right team.

    1P_Dave this unfortunately doesn’t work. The message from step 7 never appears if you set it to .eu.

    1P_Dave it's still not possible for users in the EU to use 1Password at all, even without the desktop app, as it is not possible to sign into the extension.
    Will this be fixed soon?
