    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 response here is that adding specific browsers isn't a long-term solution. I will agree that it isn't a long-term solution. However, given that this feature request for parity between mac and windows has been open for 2 years, I think that the people here are not asking for adding Zen to be the long-term solution.

We are asking you to add Zen as a compatible browser as a short-term solution until you figure out how to get the trusted browser feature for windows to work.

Please. Give us a short-term solution. At the very least, give us an actual concrete timeline as to when windows will get the trusted browser feature. If you can't give us the latter, you really should give us the former.

Also, please remove the "solved" mark. The problem is not solved for windows.
