Why SSH security practices need to change (and how 1Password can help)
SSH key management practices reflect the environment in which they were first introduced. The 1Password SSH agent is a big step toward aligning practices with the modern world.

Encryption is an essential step in cybersecurity that protects confidential information by turning it into scrambled gibberish. This ensures attackers can’t understand it, and only trusted individuals can make it understandable again.
Single sign-on (SSO) and 1Password make a great team. Separately, 1Password and SSO each reduce your attack surface by securely logging you in to sites and services you use to get things done. Together, they’re a powerful risk reduction duo.
You’ve probably watched at least one movie or TV show where a hacker sneaks into someone’s house, finds a computer, and then guesses the password on the first try. They then declare, “I’m in!” before downloading reams of sensitive data.
Ever heard of pretexting? And no, we’re not talking about when you first carefully draft a risky text message before sending it! Pretexting is a sneaky and highly effective form of social engineering that attackers use to dupe people into sharing their personal information.
For many workers, accessing the tools required to do their jobs is a hassle. This ‘login fatigue’ could be putting your business at risk as employees find less secure workarounds to complete tasks, or, in some cases, give up on a task altogether.
1Password Business customers can now connect 1Password to Google Workspace to automate provisioning and deprovisioning tasks, saving valuable IT resources and strengthening your security posture in the process.
Much of online education directed at students focuses on internet safety and privacy – and rightfully so. But it’s important that equal attention be directed towards teaching the next generation how to keep their accounts and identities safe online.
A well-thought-out incident response plan is no longer recommended – it’s critical. With the rate that cyber attacks are increasing – putting customer privacy at risk and forcing some businesses to close – it’s never been more important to educate your team on the risks, and help prepare your organization for the worst case scenario.
So 1Password CEO Jeff Shiner just committed code to one of my GitHub repositories. That’s strange. While he’s a developer at heart, I don’t think he gets much time to code these days. What’s going on here?
Schools and colleges are increasingly using technology to deliver engaging classes, track student progress, and more. But as the classroom shifts online, it’s never been more important for educators to practice good security habits.
