    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.

    1P_Dave it's still not possible for users in the EU to use 1Password at all, even without the desktop app, as it is not possible to sign into the extension.
    Will this be fixed soon?

    Thank you everyone for the feedback! I've shared all of your requests and comments with our product team.

    The team hopes to release a custom browser feature for Windows so that you can use Zen Browser (or any browser of your choice) with the 1Password desktop app even if they're not officially supported. While there isn't a timeline on when the feature will be released the team will update this thread when more news is available.

    1Password for Windows should support functionality to whitelist trusted browsers, similar to how other platforms handle this feature!

    I'd love to see this "custom browser" feature on windows. With manifest V3 I am looking forward to ditching chromium based browsers. As of now the only extentions holding me back are 1Password and Grazie (jetbrains tool).
    For now ZEN browser seems to be a decent alternative

    Just popping by to +1 this, this should be resolved by giving us the ability to add trusted browsers like EVERY other platform has some capability to do this.

    I just switched to Zen Browser and... the lack of any plan to address this is disappointing.

    What's worse is that the plugin apparently borked itself and kept refusing my primary password even after it had worked for a couple weeks... reinstalling worked, but the combination of these two issues is enough to make me rethink my password management choices.
