    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.

This seems crazy to me that you still have not supported more than these 4 browsers on windows??

It basically makes 1password useless for me with Zen browser, which I have just started using. And I'm not basing my browser choice on whether my password manager will support my browser. 

I'm far more likely to base my password manager choice on whether it supports the browser I use (aka basically every other decent password manager). Seriously considering cancelling my membership when it comes up for renewal in a few months due to this. It does not seem like a complex thing, especially when this post is over 7 months old and has a huge number of people requesting this support, with no reasons as to why you have not implemented this?
