    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: 

    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.

    We're not currently adding new supported browsers since that isn't a long-term and sustainable solution. The additional browsers feature is currently only available for the Mac. 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 on your Windows PC but you'll need to unlock it separately from the desktop app using your account password.

The team previously conducted extensive vetting of each individual browser that was added as a supported browser to 1Password. Since there are so many browsers out there, and it was impossible to vet each one, this process was only conducted for a small number of browsers that were being used by a certain threshold of our customers and that left other browsers behind.

As far as I'm aware the team isn't planning to bring back the old individual browser vetting and approval procedure as a regular process since not many browsers meet the threshold and it isn't sustainable. I've passed your comments along to the team so that they know that you'd find the custom trusted browsers feature useful if it was added to 1Password for Windows so that you can use Zen Browser (and potentially other unsupported browsers of your choice) with 1Password's app integration feature.
