Zen browser isn't a supported browser for 1Password which means that integration between the 1Password desktop app and the browser extension won't work.

r/zen_browser on Reddit: Zen Browser and 1Password extension

August 14, 2024 -

Hey!

So far loving Zen browser, installed it just to see what was up and fell in love! What a lovely little browser.

The only problem I've encountered so far was getting the 1Password extension to communicate with the macOS app. It seems someone already asked the 1Password community about this and got a reply what the problem is:

https://1password.community/discussion/147429/support-for-zen-browser

Would it be possible for the proposed solution there to be implemented, or is it something not really possible in the near future?

Thanks again for the amazing browser!

Trying to find the latest way to get 1password browser integration with app on Linux. macOS: I got it working on macOS. In the app on macOS , under Settings -> Browser I have two options "Get 1Password for your Browser" and "Connect to additional browsers" ... in this area you can add Zen browser to the list . At first glance it seems to work. If I lock 1pw from the browser plugin, it locks the app as well. Linux: Now on Linux, the Settings -> browser has no option to "Connect to additional browsers" . It only has the first option. I've found this suggestion to get the integration working https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/361#issuecomment-2308570512 sudo mkdir /etc/1password sudo touch /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers echo "zen-bin" | sudo tee -a /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers But didn't work. I found this variation here https://edb.tools/posts/1password-extension-fix/ (you need to change "vivaldi" to "zen") # Here is an easy script to do it for you =) sudo mkdir /etc/1password sudo touch /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers # Just replace Vivaldi with whatever browser you want to use. sudo echo "vivaldi-bin" > /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers sudo chown root:root /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers sudo chmod 755 /etc/1password/custom_allowed_browsers Still didn't do it though I have not rebooted, so I may try that. FYI There is a thread here at 1password about that Settings option and it not being in Linux or Windows https://1password.community/discussion/147429/support-for-zen-browser#latest So my question is, has anyone solved this on Linux?

This would be super nice, as it enables things like fingerprint login to 1password which makes it a lot easier to use day to day....

1Password desktop app integration not working in Zen Browser · Issue #10788 · zen-browser/desktop

October 12, 2025 - The 1Password browser extension should connect to the 1Password desktop app just like it does in Firefox, allowing autofill and vault access. The extension stays disconnected and shows “Integration status: connection problem.” 1Password desktop doesn’t detect Zen Browser as a connected application.

r/1Password on Reddit: Zen Browser integration in Windows 11

March 8, 2025 -

Hi,

I’ve been using Zen browser for some time and I was wondering if there is any plans or awareness regarding the integration aspect of the desktop app and the browser extension in Windows 11. I know it’s a niche ask and the browser is still in beta but it’s currently working as intended on both macOS and Linux (with some workarounds).

It would definitely be nice not to have to unlock the app on both the desktop app and browser.

Thanks !

Sadly 1Password doesn’t want to manually whitelist browsers anymore (unless it’s a browser like Arc..), so until they develop the “trusted custom browser support” feature for Windows (it’s already working on Linux and Mac), there’s sadly nothing you can do. You can follow along the 2 year old feature request here: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/trusted-browser-support---windows/83676 Not sure why they made this decision before the “replacement” feature was ready for Windows but here we are :(

Nope. 1Password has preferred browsers that they favor. Others are lower class that they gatekeep you from.

r/zen_browser on Reddit: Is there a way to get the 1password extension to unlock with windows hello

November 28, 2023 -

Downloaded Zen Browser a few minutes a go and so far I like it a lot. The only problem I'm having so far is the fact that the 1password extension isn't hooking into windows hello to unlock it. It's a feature I've gotten used to on chromium based browsers and would like to get it on zen if I can.

This is the first firefox browser I've used in over a decade so I'm not sure if this a zen thing or a firefox thing.

This would be sick. Proton Pass would also benefit from this feature.

It's a 1password thing. In order to use windows hello you have to have the desktop app hook into the extension. Unfortunately/fortunately, depending on how you look at it, that integration between desktop and extension is only supported in trusted browsers: Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi.

r/zen_browser on Reddit: 1Password extension not working

March 30, 2024 -

The 1Password extension is the last essential extension preventing me from switching to Zen. It can be installed, but cannot integrate with the desktop app on Windows.

Is anyone from the Zen team in contact with 1Password? They are normally pretty fast to react and always interested in collaboration afaik.

Zen isn’t included as a default trusted browser by 1Password. You just have to manually add it and it works as well as Firefox. In the 1Pass app on your computer go to 1Password > ‌Settings > Browser > Add Browser, then select Zen. After that it will work like you expect.

I'm in the same boat. The extension works fine but it doesn't tie into the app to use Windows Hello for log which is a real bummer. From what I understand this is something AgileBits (1Password developer) has to fix. Something about adding it as a trusted browser or something like that. I could be wrong though.

I use Bitwarden, so it works really well. Also, there is native password manager.

1Password doesn’t allow communication between Zen and the desktop application on Windows. It works on Mac. As of today, 1Password doesn’t allow setting a custom browser on Windows. Generally speaking, Zen supports password managers.
