support for 1password integration with desktop app

[mr-cheffy]

What feature would you like to see?

from their docs, 1password supports Additional Browser integration with the desktop version of their 1Password if the browser is code signed by Apple. Zen currently doesn't have this afaik.

the alternative is to just Sign In on the browser extension as a separate credential endpoint for users.

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

macOS

Just because the issue didn't populate this, I want to add that this affects all OS's, including Windows, though a potential workaround was found for Linux.

While not an absolute deal breaker for me, I'd absolutely see it get fixed

What's needed to get Zen Browser set up to be code signed? It feels like that would help resolve a lot of issues around compatibility and installs.

As a temporary workaround for macOS, you can sign manually if you're already a part of the Apple Developer Program:

codesign --force --verify --verbose --sign "Developer ID Application" "/Applications/Zen Browser.app"

Then add Zen Browser to 1Password under 1Password > Settings… > Browser > Add Browser.

I've seen workaround for Linux and Mac, has anyone found something similar for Win?

Seems a lot of issues are stemming from the lack of code signing. Zen is awesome, and I'd love to see it succeed. If financial support will help you prioritize getting certs and signing integrated, I would be more than happy to sponsor the project.

For anyone else on Linux that wasn't having success with the workaround posted above, in addition to the steps provided there, I found this post indicating that the browser binary and its support files need to have the user:group ownership 0:0. For me, setting this looked like sudo chown -R 0:0 ~/.zen/browser/.

If you're having issues, you can also try to investigate the relevant logs (info found in this thread): cat ~/.config/1Password/logs/BrowserSupport/1Password_rCURRENT.log

Worked like a charm. None of other options helped me, and browser connection status wasn't establidhed, untill executed below command
sudo chown -R 0:0 /home/user/.tarball-installations/zen

Macos is now signed... Do I need to submit zen somewhere to 1password?

[muffn]

It works now by adding the browser manually in 1Password by visiting the settings page in the macos 1Password app: Vault Profile Picture -> Settings -> Browser -> Add Browser 🎉

Thanks a lot for your effort @mauro-balades

Is there anything to do from a user perspective on Windows 11?

Any workarounds for windows?

[mil1i]

Aslo would like to see this working for Windows. But which party really needs to be the one to "fix" it? (Zen or 1Password).

With macOS, the ability to specify any browser .app makes it easy. Why it's not part of the 1Password Windows I don't quite understand.

[Sha-Ch]

Unfortunately, there are no solutions for Windows 11 so far.

Looks like 1password themself said the possible reason which make sense for why zen broswer is running into the issue: https://1password.community/discussion/147429/support-for-zen-browser#latest

Hello. Still nothing?

[smoores-dev]

Zen has done everything they can do here -- this is ultimately due to security decisions made by 1Password. Posting in this thread is unlikely to have any effect, as there's nothing more for Zen to do.

If you're on Linux or macOS, you can use these docs to configure 1Password to trust Zen Browser: https://docs.zen-browser.app/guides/1password

If you're on Windows, this is not possible: https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/zen-browser--windows/30272/replies/30273. The only avenue for progress on this would be to ask 1Password to add support for Zen!

[da411d]

So as I understand, Zen is now properly signed, and the only limitation is 1Password to add this signature to whitelist, right?

That's absolutely correct. The Zen developer did everything in his power to support 1password already.
