1Password lets AI agents sign in without seeing your passwords
1Password for Agents fills in login details for the agent, and each request needs your approval on your own device.
When an AI helper needs to open your account, the 1Password app types the password for it. The helper never sees it, and nothing happens until you say yes.

- Approval happens on your own device, much like two-factor authentication.
- It is designed to work with agents such as Meta Muse, ChatGPT Work, Claude Duet, Grok Bot and Town.
- 1Password says more partners will add support, including Browserbase, Browser Use, Perplexity and Ramp.
