1Password, a leader in identity security, has announced 1Password for Agents, a new platform that helps personal AI agents safely use the passwords, secrets, and credentials they need to complete approved tasks without seeing or storing them. 1Password for Agents lets people keep the credentials secure in 1Password while safely enabling personal AI agents to sign in and get things done on their behalf.
1Password has launched 1Password for Agents, a trust layer that lets personal AI agents sign in without seeing or storing credentials.
When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it uses a unique digital key to verify its identity to 1Password.
The person sees which credential is needed and why, then approves the request on their own device.
1Password fills the credential directly into the sign-in form instead of sending it to the agent.
1Password is building with companies across the personal AI agent ecosystem, including Meta's Muse, Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI, SpaceXSI Grok Bot and Town Townie.
Additional partners include Browserbase, Browser Use, Dana, Instinct, KERNEL, Perplexity, Ramp, Tomo and Wajo.
"Agents are starting to do real work on our behalf. The old model where you hand over a credential and hope for the best doesn't work," said Aashish Tripathi, Chief Product Officer at 1Password. "An agent should be able to do the job it's been asked to do without getting permanent access to everything behind the account, and 1Password provides the trust layer that makes this possible across personal agent experiences."
"Personal AI agents have the potential to help millions of people get more done," said John Torrey, Chief Business Officer at 1Password. "Reaching that many people takes the industry working together to build agents people actually trust with their lives and work. That's why we're partnering with companies across the personal AI agent ecosystem, so people can use the agents they choose while keeping their passwords in one trusted 1Password vault."
Personal AI agents are moving beyond answering questions to proactively planning family vacations, managing recurring bills, and preparing expense reports. Handing over a password, secret, or credential is a common shortcut to an agent, but can leave people with sensitive information in places they can no longer control.
1Password for Agents lets AI agents sign in without receiving or seeing the credential. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it uses a unique digital key to verify its identity to 1Password. The person sees which credential it needs and why, and then chooses whether to approve the request. That approval happens on the person's own device, confirming that the permission came from them. 1Password then fills it directly into the sign-in form instead of sending it to the agent. Once signed in, the agent continues the task while the password stays protected in 1Password.
1Password is partnering with the companies behind the agents people are already using, so customers can put their logins to work with agents such as:
Muse turns goals into action plans and keeps working as circumstances change, requesting logins from 1Password when using the integration.
Claude Duet works inside the tools teams already use to proactively get work done on their behalf, with the 1Password integration giving Claude approved access when needed.
ChatGPT Work and dots work with 1Password to sign into sites across the internet, with users approving sign-ins and passwords not exposed to the AI model.
Grok Bot provides AI teammates that work across tools, inboxes and websites, using approved logins while credentials stay protected.
Town gives every user a Townie, an assistant that learns their people, projects and voice from their email, calendar and work tools.
"I've been using 1Password since 2007 and I'm so happy to have it integrated directly into Muse. Muse is like an AI personal assistant and 1Password gives it safe access to services, at your direction," said Nat Friedman, Head of Product, Meta Superintelligence Labs.
"Most of the work people want help with lives inside their accounts, and we know an agent has to earn its place there," said Ami Vora, Chief Product Officer at Anthropic. "Claude Duet asks before it signs in anywhere, and soon 1Password will complete the sign-in with the passwords people have already set up."
"As agents take on more complex tasks for users, security and user control need to be built in from the start," said Glen Coates, Head of App Platform at OpenAI.
