Support for Zen browser
Hi!
There's this new browser called "Zen browser"
It's based on Firefox but the 1password extension doesn't work with the desktop app
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Browser: Not Provided
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:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- 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

Any updates on this? Zen browser is still not supported and cannot be used in Zen (despite it being based on Firefox).
The addon can be installed but not be connected to 1Password. This is probably related to not being able to configure trusted browsers on any other platform than MacOS (and the adhoc setting?).
Would be great if we could get an update on this or the trusted browser setting on Windows, I don't want to switch to another PW manager just to use Zen.Zen Browser is based on Firefox, so we can install the 1Password add-on without any problems!
Hi, would it be possible to add support for this browser on Linux?

The custom trusted browsers feature is only available for 1Password on the Mac for the moment. I'll let our product team know that you'd like to see it added for Windows as well.
I installed Zen Browser in a Virtual Machine and checked the code signature and I see the following:
Signature=adhocBecause this browser uses an adhoc code signature, you won't be able to use it with 1Password's custom trusted browser feature. The developer would need to first notarize the app: App code signing process in macOS - Apple Support (CA)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Update: tried adding the browser on Mac and it's not even properly signed there. Most likely it's issue on the Zen browser side on the Windows version aswell.
Hi!
Unfortunately I'm using it on Windows and there's not a feature like that- 1P_Dave
Hello l4kr! 👋
Thank you for reaching out! Are you using a Mac? As long as Zen Browser is properly code-signed, you should be able to add it as a custom browser:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- Click Add Browser and choose your browser from the Applications folder.
The team hopes 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 but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.
