1Password has introduced a sign-in system that lets AI agents access online accounts without receiving the stored password. The feature requires the account owner to approve each request on their own device before credentials are filled into the login form.
When an agent reaches a sign-in screen, it identifies itself to 1Password with a unique digital key. The user receives a notification naming the requested account and explaining why access is needed. If approved, 1Password supplies the login information directly; the agent continues with its task but does not see the password itself.
The interaction resembles two-factor authentication and narrows the choice from handing an agent permanent credentials to granting a specific sign-in. It does not eliminate all risk after login, because an approved agent can still act through the resulting account session according to the service’s permissions.
1Password says the system is designed for agents including Meta Muse, ChatGPT Work and Dots, Claude Duet, Grok Bot and Town. Browserbase, Browser Use, Perplexity, Ramp and other companies are also working on integrations. The announcement does not specify a general availability date, pricing or how every partner will limit post-login actions.
