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

Is there any ETA on when the ability to add unsupported browsers will be added in windows so we can get zen browser integration working?

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:
- Open Zen Browser.
- Install the 1Password browser extension from the Mozilla add-ons store.
- Click on the 1Password icon in the browser's toolbar.
- Click Sign In on the welcome page.
- A sign-in page will open. Scroll down and change your region from .COM to .EU in the dropdown menu:
- Enter your account information and sign in.
- Click Add account to add your 1Password account to the browser extension when prompted.
- Wait a few moments until you see a notification that your account was added successfully.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

No workaround exists. 1Password for Windows only connecting with supported browsers is an important security feature that allows the 1Password desktop app to make sure that it only ever communicates with a vetted safe browser with a genuine code signature and not a malicious app pretending to be that browser. As mentioned earlier in the thread, the team hopes to build and release a secure way for users to add unvetted and unsupported browsers to 1Password for Windows in the future. I've let the team know that you'd like to use Zen Browser with 1Password for Windows.
Thank you for the request, I've shared it with the team. 🙂

Any updates on a solution? It has already been 3 months now and there is not even a workaround for Windows, which is the majority of OS'.

Is there any workaround that can be used temporarly on windows? Its rather frustrating that there are workarounds for MacOS and Linux (https://docs.zen-browser.app/guides/1password) but when I'm on my windows machine I can't intergrate with the desktop app

Hello everyone,
The old process of manually vetting browsers resulted in only a very limited number of browsers being supported, the amount of work required to vet a browser made it impossible to review and approve every browser that was requested by customers and only a small number made it through the process. This told our team that we needed to change the process and that's why we're hoping to release a custom additional browsers feature in the future so that you can use any browser with 1Password for Windows whether our team has approved it or not.
Your requests and feedback are important and are all considered by the team. Which features are implemented (and when) depends on a variety of factors that include: consideration for our existing product roadmap and planned features, urgent bug fixes that need to be prioritized over feature requests, available development resources, other customer feedback, and more.
Please continue to voice your feedback, it helps us to make 1Password better for everyone even if a specific feature isn't implemented right away. 🙂
