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

Thank you everyone for the feedback! I've shared all of your requests and comments with our product team.
The team hopes to release a custom browser feature for Windows so that you can use Zen Browser (or any browser of your choice) with the 1Password desktop app even if they're not officially supported. While there isn't a timeline on when the feature will be released the team will update this thread when more news is available.

ref: PB-45448420 Hello,
Is there any news about support Zen Browser in Firefox extension? Just register there for writing this reply 🥲
1Password for Windows should support functionality to whitelist trusted browsers, similar to how other platforms handle this feature!
I'd love to see this "custom browser" feature on windows. With manifest V3 I am looking forward to ditching chromium based browsers. As of now the only extentions holding me back are 1Password and Grazie (jetbrains tool).
For now ZEN browser seems to be a decent alternativeJust popping by to +1 this, this should be resolved by giving us the ability to add trusted browsers like EVERY other platform has some capability to do this.
I just switched to Zen Browser and... the lack of any plan to address this is disappointing.
What's worse is that the plugin apparently borked itself and kept refusing my primary password even after it had worked for a couple weeks... reinstalling worked, but the combination of these two issues is enough to make me rethink my password management choices.
My subscription is ending on december, i don't know if i should renew it. Desktop integration is pretty usefull when paired with windows hello
Hi all, just a note here, I managed to get the 1Password desktop app to work with the Zen Browser extension on Linux. The trick was ensuring that the Zen Browser files are not owned by your local user.
I wrote up an article https://kerrenortlepp.com/running-1password-on-zen-browser/ about it and created a https://gist.github.com/kerren/f355d18dd89532c008724c0b10dc6b63 which should automate the process.
I understand that vetting invididual browsers is not going to be a thing but Windows users need a solution.
If the custom browser option isn't ready then can an exeption be made to vet and allow add Zen browser as a supported browser?
