    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.

I'm sorry that you're running into issues when adding your account to the browser extension. We're limited in how much assistance we can provide for browsers that we don't regularly test or support but I'll help as much as possible. I downloaded Zen Browser in a Windows VM, installed 1Password in the browser, and I was able to create and add a .EU 1Password account to the browser extension. Try these steps:

  1. Open Zen Browser.
  2. Install the 1Password browser extension from the Mozilla add-ons store.
  3. Click on the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar.
  4. Click Sign In on the welcome page.
  5. A sign-in page will open. Scroll down and change your region from .COM to .EU in the dropdown menu:

  1. Enter your account information and sign in.
  2. Click Add account to add your 1Password account to the browser extension when prompted.

  1. Wait a few moments until you see a notification that your account was added successfully.

Let me know if that doesn't work.
