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

+1 on Zen Browser
Is there any ETA on when the ability to add unsupported browsers will be added in windows so we can get zen browser integration working?

I'm sorry that you're running into issues when adding your account to the browser extension. We're limited in how much assistance we can provide for browsers that we don't regularly test or support but I'll help as much as possible. I downloaded Zen Browser in a Windows VM, installed 1Password in the browser, and I was able to create and add a .EU 1Password account to the browser extension. Try these steps:
- Open Zen Browser.
- Install the 1Password browser extension from the Mozilla add-ons store.
- Click on the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar.
- Click Sign In on the welcome page.
- A sign-in page will open. Scroll down and change your region from .COM to .EU in the dropdown menu:
- Enter your account information and sign in.
- Click Add account to add your 1Password account to the browser extension when prompted.
- Wait a few moments until you see a notification that your account was added successfully.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

No workaround exists. 1Password for Windows only connecting with supported browsers is an important security feature that allows the 1Password desktop app to make sure that it only ever communicates with a vetted safe browser with a genuine code signature and not a malicious app pretending to be that browser. As mentioned earlier in the thread, the team hopes to build and release a secure way for users to add unvetted and unsupported browsers to 1Password for Windows in the future. I've let the team know that you'd like to use Zen Browser with 1Password for Windows.
Thank you for the request, I've shared it with the team. 🙂

ref: PB-44857020 Any updates on a solution? It has already been 3 months now and there is not even a workaround for Windows, which is the majority of OS'.
Adding my vote to the pile: please support Zen browser
