1Password launches tool for AI agents to log in without seeing passwords

1Password launched 1Password for Agents, a tool that lets AI agents sign in to personal accounts without accessing passwords or other credentials. When an agent attempts to log in, a digital key verifies its identity, the user receives an alert and can approve the request; 1Password then fills in the credentials and completes the login on the agent’s behalf. The service supports agents including Anthropic’s Claude Duet, OpenAI’s Dots and ChatGPT Work, Grok Bot, Meta’s Muse and agents from Town, the company says, adding that it is working with other companies.

The launch comes as U.S. banks have begun detecting agent activity inside users’ accounts, according to Axios. Bankers interviewed by the outlet said they have difficulty distinguishing actions authorized by customers from unauthorized activity; a Chase spokesperson told Axios that customers should not give their usernames and passwords to anyone.
