    Just adding to the chorus. I got the firefox 1Password plugin installed on Zen browser on macOS and it's working.

    Have not got it working on Linux.

    There were instructions similar to this below that some thought would work, but it didn't work for me.

    sudo mkdir /etc/1password
    sudo touch /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers
    sudo echo "zen-bin" > /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers
    sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers
    sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers

    on Reddit here you can read more

    Anyway, Zen is based on Firefox so it's not coming out of nowhere, it's just sort of a jazzed up UI. Starting to really like it.

    Hello @Lantern! 👋

    Thanks for reaching out. While Zen Browser is not a supported browser you should be able to get app integration working using similar steps to the ones that you posted. Can you try the steps again in this order:

    1. Ensure that the browser integration is enabled from Settings → Browser within 1Password for Linux.
    2. Close 1Password completely.
    3. Pop open a terminal, and run sudo mkdir /etc/1password.
    4. Run cd /etc/1password.
    5. Run sudo gedit custom_allowed_browsers.
    6. Paste in the appropriate browser code - such as opera or vivaldi-bin. (the binary name)
    7. Save the file.
    8. In terminal, run sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers && sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers
    9. Run 1Password - it will read our new config file and make the appropriate connections.
    10. Launch your browser.

    Make sure that you place the actual binary name into custom_allowed_browsers and not just a symlink pointing to the binary.

    Let me know if that doesn't work.
