Agentic AI is a fundamentally new paradigm. AI agents can interact with various tools and act dynamically and probabilistically as they encounter new inputs. That means they end up falling somewhere between an application and a user in terms of how they operate. Indeed, the interaction with other applications is what gives agentic AI its power; however, this also has implications for identity security and access management.

The new.env destination in 1Password environments makes it easy for developers to use and collaborate on.env files securely, right from the desktop app. 1Password environments provide a secure workspace to store, organize, and manage project secrets – the same credentials you would normally handle as environment variables. Each environment acts as a dedicated space for a project or app, helping teams manage and maintain consistent credentials.

AI agents increasingly are completing real tasks in the browser, acting on behalf of employees, and connecting to the same systems humans rely on to get work done. This introduces a new security problem: AI agents require credentials – passwords, API keys, and one-time codes – to operate. As agents proliferate, the risk surface increases and it brings a variety of identity and access management challenges.

Your password manager might be closing up shop, putting your digital security at risk. In recent months, two major tech players – Dropbox and Microsoft – have discontinued their built-in password manager features. If you’ve been relying on Microsoft Authenticator or Dropbox Password, it’s now time to decide how you’ll protect your accounts going forward.

A new integration between 1Password Device Trust and Zscaler marks the first step in helping our shared customers implement Zero Trust practices. 1Password is proud to announce a new integration with Zscaler, a leading cloud-based solution for Zero Trust network access (ZTNA). This marks a shared commitment to helping our customers secure access, reduce their attack surface, manage AI app sprawl, and practice the principles of Zero Trust.

For security teams, the stakes are rarely as high as they are during mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Suddenly, you’re tasked with managing two companies' worth of devices, applications, identities, and data. There can be serious issues lurking within the newly acquired (or soon-to-be-acquired) company, including legacy systems, poorly vetted third-party contractors, and incompatible security policies.

In late July, we published new research on the risks of unmanaged AI, revealing four major security challenges companies face when AI slips under the radar.

This blog details how 1Password has addressed clickjacking in the latest version of our browser extension (version 8.11.7). We have no indication that this class of vulnerability directly puts 1Password’s systems at risk. Clickjacking is a technique where a malicious or compromised webpage visually disguises or overlays elements of a page or browser extension, like the autofill menu, so that a user unintentionally clicks on them.

There are two enormous cybersecurity events each year in the United States: RSA Conference and the week in Vegas that is so full of conferences, summits, and ancillary events that it’s simply known as “Hacker Summer Camp.” From Security BSides Las Vegas to Black Hat and DEF CON, it takes the fortitude of a camel to survive the desert heat and the late nights.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we work and lead. At 1Password, we see AI as a powerful accelerator that helps our teams focus on the work that matters most. To explore what it means to lead in this new era, we sat down with Nancy Wang, VP/Head of Engineering. Nancy shares how AI shows up in her day-to-day, how she inspires her team to be curious, and why human skills like trust matter more than ever.
