Support for Zen browser

My subscription is ending on december, i don't know if i should renew it. Desktop integration is pretty usefull when paired with windows hello

Hi all, just a note here, I managed to get the 1Password desktop app to work with the Zen Browser extension on Linux. The trick was ensuring that the Zen Browser files are not owned by your local user.

I wrote up an article here about it and created a gist on Github which should automate the process.

I understand that vetting invididual browsers is not going to be a thing but Windows users need a solution.
If the custom browser option isn't ready then can an exeption be made to vet and allow add Zen browser as a supported browser?

I think it's pretty ridiculous that the 1password team can't keep feature parity between their apps, if a major feature like this isn't available cross-platform, especially this far off, why are you not prioritizing it, or at least providing a temporary solution? Zen browser isn't a small fork by any means, it has over 20k stars on github, which is surely a fraction of the userbase. The source code is all there, the code is signed, what is the big holdup for you guys? Giving all your users these useless canned responses to nearly every single user request is a really quick way for your users to lose faith in your ability to drive features they want and need, interactions like this are what's continuing to push people to open source solutions like bitwarden.

Whenever possible, the team aims to release a new feature across all platforms at the same time but the custom trusted browsers feature requires more dedicated, platform-specific, work for Windows that hasn't been done yet. This work is prioritized based on a variety of factors that include availability of relevant development resources, other features on our roadmap, and the need to complete other work such as security patches and bug fixes.

The team hopes to introduce the additional trusted browsers feature to other platforms like Windows in the future. I've shared your comments and feedback with the team, they're aware of the need for this feature on Windows. Thank you for the feedback and for being a long-time 1Password customer! 🙂

Dave,

You stated "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. "

With the utmost respect: why did 1Password create a workaround on Linux and MacOS but refuse to implement the same on Windows ? The angel in myself tells me this is to protect users as Windows is by default less secure. The devil in myself tells me the developers with their Linux machines like their more or less obscure browsers themselves (Vivaldi?) and created a quick workaround. It is hard to explain that creating an entry in the registry that is protected by UAC is less secure than creating a file in /etc/1password.

I'm not complaining as I use EndeavourOS as my daily driver but claiming the moral high ground is a bit problematic for me when the same risks exists on three OS-families but a workaround is provided on two of them.

Again, I say this with the utmost respect and I don't want to offend anyone. I just think people deserve an explanation why a workaround is provided on Linux and MacOS but not on Windows.

Kind regards,

George (customer since 2008)

I don't have an ETA to share. I've let the team know that you're eager to see the feature be built and released in 1Password for Windows, thank you for the feedback.
