1Password launches a way for AI agents to log in on your behalf without seeing your password

1Password has launched 1Password for Agents, a new platform that allows AI agents to log into users' personal accounts on their behalf without ever accessing their passwords or credentials. The system works by sending a unique digital key to 1Password to verify the agent's identity when it attempts a login. The user then receives an alert and must personally confirm the request before 1Password signs in the agent by filling in the credentials. The tool supports agents from multiple providers including Anthropic's Claude Duet, OpenAI's Dots and ChatGPT Work, Grok Bot, Meta's Muse, and agents from the startup Town. The launch comes amid rising concerns about agentic activity, as U.S. banks have begun detecting automated agents operating inside user accounts and often cannot tell whether such activity is user-authorized. Bankers described the situation as "horrifying," and a Chase spokesperson advised customers not to share their usernames and passwords with anyone.
