    Hello folks, 

    I'm happy to share that you can now add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password for Windows. Follow these steps: 

    1. Install 1Password in Zen Browser from the Firefox Browser Add-ons Store
    2. Add Zen Browser as an additional browser to 1Password: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app


    A couple of notes:

    • Make sure that Zen Browser is installed system-wide with admin permissions in the C:\Program Files folder.
    • Zen Browser is not an officially supported browser and you might run into unexpected issues. If you see those same issues with a supported browser like Firefox then let us know by starting a new discussion and we can investigate.

    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=adhoc

    Because 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

    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:

    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.

     

    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.
