1Password has launched 1Password for Agents, a platform that lets personal AI agents sign in to accounts on a person’s behalf without ever seeing the password.
Agents from Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceXSI are among the first to plug in, the Toronto-based company said on Thursday.
Agents now book holidays, pay recurring bills and prepare expense reports. To do that, they often need access to the accounts behind those tasks. Many people simply paste a password into the chat, which leaves a copy somewhere they no longer control, 1Password said.
The new system works in a few steps. When an agent reaches a login page, it proves its identity to 1Password with its own digital key. The person then sees which login the agent wants and why, and approves or rejects the request on their own device.
