Support for Zen browser
Hi!
There's this new browser called "Zen browser"
It's based on Firefox but the 1password extension doesn't work with the desktop app
1Password Version: Not Provided
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Not Provided
Browser: Not Provided
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:
- Open and unlock the 1Password for Mac desktop app.
- Click on 1Password next to the in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click Browser.
- 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.-Dave
I understand the importance of ensuring security and compliance, but this delay for such a critical feature feels unwarranted. As both a business and personal user, the hesitation seems unnecessary given the circumstances. The Zen Team has gone above and beyond to ensure their app signatures meet your requirements, adhering strictly to your guidelines. Despite this, there doesn't appear to have been any progress or changes on 1Password's side.
While I appreciated the exception made for Arc on Windows, this seems to be the only instance of flexibility. Is there any way to expedite this process? Perhaps there's someone specific I could reach out to for further advocacy, as it feels like these concerns are not being addressed.
Many Zen users, including myself, are facing significant challenges with this on Windows. It's increasingly frustrating and makes me reconsider continuing with 1Password. I deeply value the platform but having to log in every time I need to access resources in my preferred browser undermines the user experience. This functionality should be a user-driven choice, not one dictated by hardcoded limitations.
This thread has been open for 3 and a half months. Has any progress been made?
1P_Dave Can I ask why you stopped approving new browsers before you had the custom trusted browser feature ready on all platforms, especially the biggest (Windows)?
I really don't get it, and it really sucks to see that you're apparently still not working on it, you're just passing along feedback that people "want it"?I thought the days of 1Password being a Mac-first company were somehow over, but I guess not... :(
I guess to get your team to approve a new browser, it has to be built for Mac-first, like the Arc browser, to get your team to approve it even after you have "stopped" doing so.. :/
Any details you can share around this? Is it just a ticket on some board nobody looks at, or is it planned? Either literal support for Zen or a "whitelist" of browsers supported on Windows?

It is literally Firefox with another front-end. Just allow it

Thank you everyone for your feedback, I've passed all of your requests along to the team. 🙂

ref: PB-43994570 I recently migrated to Zen, and it's true that it's annoying to have to authenticate twice on 1password. I hope integration will come soon 🙏
Man, why does it still not work. Id love 1password support in Zen Browser.
Lots of creators use the browser!Hi, I'm also looking for Zen Browser support. Being able to support custom browsers on Windows would be hugely useful for more than browsers like this. While authenticating "manually" is not a deal-breaker in the meantime, it would be extremely nice to have parity between platforms for features like this!
+1 for Zen support and/or custom browsers on Windows
