Trusted Browser Support - Windows

I saw this was kicked down the road again 3 months ago, and this after 2 years of "we're working on it," which makes me think the 1Password team has no intention of ever releasing this. I would prefer an honest answer, whether it be "There's a technical issue with XYZ that creates a potential security breach we are not comfortable with allowing" or "We don't know when or if this feature will be worked on as we have other priorities we want to focus on" or something else. This constant kicking it down the road nonsense is insulting, and nobody is buying it. The fact there's a solution for both Mac and Linux and, according to Wavebox's documentation, there USED to be an option for this in the Beta release of Windows (https://wavebox.io/kb/1password-extension/) is frustrating, to say the least. The Trusted Browser support allows other developers, in my case, Wavebox, to integrate tightly with the Desktop version, allowing Windows Hello unlocking just like in "standard" browsers such as Chrome.

Can we get a REAL update from the 1Password team on either of these?
A) There's a technical or security issue we don't forsee being able to overcome therefore this is on an indefinite hold
B) We have many other features we want to work on first and therefore we have no idea if or when we'll get to this feature request.

Another 4 months have passed, and still nothing. No sign of the extra Browser options for Windows... We are waiting for years now, and all you can keep saying is "we are working on it" or "I will pass your concerns to the team".

Why can you not just give a feature like this some priority and have it released in 1-2 months. Many people want this, because this is not the only topic about this issue.

Mind-blowing that this issue is open for 2 years and the developers still don't have any ETA on when this feature will be implemented. I expect a lot more transparency from developers as a paying customer. It's very annoying to open the extension and enter my password every ten minutes to the point that I'm considering using alternative products.

So you're not able to properly support more than a small selection of browsers for the most used desktop OS in the world, when you're making software with the main purpose of filling passwords (typically done on a desktop OS).

I really hope this is your top priority at the moment, 1P_Dave? Because I will be looking to alternatives if this isn't fixed by summer.

I enjoy coming back to this thread occasionally and checking the status. I'm dismayed that this feature still isn't implemented, but I'm encouraged by how many people have commented.

I'm hoping to see this implemented soon. 1password is a beast, so I'd really like to have this one feature implemented to eliminate this frustrating situation.

Thank you, 1P_Dave - hope it's appropriate to mention you there and indicate I am looking for this feature. Additional info in case it's useful for your tickets, teams, etc. (I understand it may not be):

• This is an accessibility feature for me. I have cognitive disabilities that mean a break in my "flow" every time I need to "connect" the login will be disruptive. (I also want to say that, in contrast, when the "unlock with desktop app" functionality was first introduced, it was extremely exciting and helpful, so: good job!)

• The lack of ability to trust additional browsers has, because of the previous concern, stopped my migration from one browser (Edge or Arc) to another (Floorp) twice in the past six months or so. Floorp is still my current browser of choice, if not for the missing "trust' link.

Thank you!

+1 on this too. Since this feature for Mac was tested out over a year ago and the earliest Linux discussion was in 2021 this not being in Windows is a bit strange. At minimum, there has been over a year to think about this. Clearly its a priority for other platforms but not for Windows. Is there something technical that is stopping this, because from the logs all I can see is it is checking the signature of the exe against, probably, an internal allow list.2:INFO 2025-01-15T12:30:41.966+00:00 main(ThreadId(1)) [1P:native-messaging\op-browser-support\src\browser_verification\windows.rs:62] Verifying browser "C:\Program Files\Zen Twilight\zen.exe" for Zen and 2:INFO 2025-01-15T13:34:29.227+00:00 main(ThreadId(1)) [1P:native-messaging\op-browser-support\src\browser_verification\windows.rs:62] Verifying browser "C:\Program Files\Ablaze Floorp\floorp.exe" for Floorp.

Since I don't run chromium based browsers I would guess its the same for them. For those who want to find the logs its in AppData/Local/1Password/logs/BrowserSupport. Surely you can just have a toml file (since this is written in rust) that defines the exe's I am happy with not checking the signature of and just jump over the signature check since the 1Password extension and the app are already communicating

Also it's not that we are asking for full fledged support like in macOS everybody here would be OK with an "unofficial" way via some config file like it is in Linux.
At least for now. I can understand that this feature might not have the highest priority because it might be tough to properly support it while only affecting a small user-base.
But please consider some hacky solution that is somewhat hidden by only being accessible through some instruction in this thread so only people that really need and look for it can find it.
This way you make a few of your users very happy without committing to a feature fully down the backlog.

+1ing this as well (I also made a community account JUST to request this feature). This is kinda ridiculous that y'all still will not give any firm commitments, despite Mac and Linux having this capability for over a year and a half. Plus this comment thread plus related threads requesting additional browsers (Floorp and Zen being two I found easily) on Windows being some of the most viewed should clue your team in that this is clearly a important feature for windows users.
