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

It's been like 2 years now. Very disappointed that Zen is still not supported.
Do we have an update on the timeline or is it just abandoned and nobody cares about bringing the additional browser feature to windows?

Hey TobiasGoetz! The team’s still working on bringing the additional browsers feature to Windows. We don’t have a timeline to share, but it’s still on the roadmap.
+1 please add support for zen browser or additional browsers on windows, it is really annoying

This issue is not solved and the feature flag for approved browsers have been turned off on mac as well

Thanks for reaching out. You can add an additional browser to 1Password for Mac by following the steps in this guide: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app
If you're not seeing the option on your Mac then please send an email to support@1Password.com so that our team can help further.

Waiting for several months now to add Zen Browser support.
- 1P_Dave
Thanks for the request! There aren't any plans currently to support Zen Browser directly but our team is working on bringing additional browser support to Windows so that you can add whichever browser you'd like (including Zen Browser) to 1Password.

is there a timeline on when this can be enabled for windows since this functionality is already in mac for adding any browser of my preference?
+1 from me as well.
I also find it very frustrating that my favorite password manager, which I have been using for years, does not support the Zen Browser.
When I was using Arc, it wasn’t a problem — but since I switched to Zen, it is.I saw in the forum that adding additional browsers is currently only available for Mac and Linux, and that supporting browsers individually isn’t sustainable.
What’s the current progress on bringing this feature to Windows?- 1P_Dave
Welcome to the community! Our team is working on bringing the additional browsers feature to Windows, I don't have a timeline to share just yet but keep an eye on this thread. 🙂

It has been years already and how this feature is not present is baffling
+1
1Password Team:
You support Arc, a discontinued browser, but do not support Zen...?!
Be aware that many former Arc users are moving to Zen, as you probably already noticed in this thread...- 1P_Dave
Thank you for the feedback! Are you using 1Password on a Windows PC or on another platform? I noticed that you mentioned Linux and Mac in other posts, you can add Zen Browser to 1Password on those platforms using this guide: Connect additional browsers to the 1Password app

+1 for Zen Browser. Seems the other Zen threads were locked and posts got deleted after someone reported that Comet was custom added to the latest windows nightly build, going against the idea that the old vetting process has been retired.
One more +1 for this feature. I use Zen on Windows every day at work since it's Firefox based.
Reading the "solution" at the top is really confusing since it's restricted to Mac - and reading about support for Comet having been added to the nightly build is even more confusing.This should be highly prioritized, 1P_Dave. Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback! I've shared your request with the team.

+1 for the feature implementation on Windows like on MacOS.
Is there a beta branch or something available where we can test this feature? It's really frustrating for a user on both MacOS and Windows to have different workflows on each system.
cheers!1P_Dave If this is a 'yet to be developed' feature, which it sounds like it is, then 1Password should continue to support the old 'manual' vetting process for browsers until you are able to provide another solution. Currently your Windows-based customers have no solution to this problem.
