Password and access management platform that provides secure credential and secret management for both humans and AI agents. Features unified access control and governance for modern workplaces using AI.
1Password is the most widely deployed enterprise password manager, trusted by over 150,000 businesses and millions of individual users to secure credentials, secrets, and sensitive data across teams and infrastructure. Unlike basic password vaults, 1Password combines end-user credential management with developer-focused secrets automation and, as of 2024-2025, agentic AI credential governance—making it one of the first password managers to address machine identity alongside human identity.
The platform uses a dual-key encryption model combining a master password with a 128-bit Secret Key, ensuring that even a breach of 1Password's servers cannot expose vault contents without the locally-held Secret Key. All data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and the architecture has been independently audited by firms including Cure53, SOC 2 Type 2 certified, and has never suffered a credential-exposing breach in over 18 years of operation.
1Password Watchtower continuously monitors stored credentials against known breach databases (powered by Have I Been Pwned integration), flags weak or reused passwords, and alerts users to sites supporting passkeys or two-factor authentication. Travel Mode allows users to temporarily remove sensitive vaults from devices when crossing borders, a feature unique among major password managers and widely used by journalists, executives, and security-conscious travelers.
For developers and DevOps teams, 1Password offers secrets automation through its CLI, Connect Server, and SDKs, enabling infrastructure secrets (API keys, tokens, certificates) to be injected into CI/CD pipelines, containers, and configuration files without hardcoding. The SSH agent integration replaces local key files with vault-stored SSH keys authenticated via biometrics.
In 2024-2025, 1Password expanded into agentic AI security with features enabling organizations to provision, rotate, and audit credentials used by AI agents and automated workflows. This addresses a growing enterprise concern: as AI agents act autonomously, they require scoped, auditable credential access rather than shared static secrets. 1Password's Extended Access Management (XAM) platform unifies device trust, application access, and credential governance under a single control plane, covering managed and unmanaged devices alike.
Passkey support, launched in 2024, allows users to create, store, and autofill passkeys across platforms, positioning 1Password as both a bridge technology during the password-to-passkey transition and a long-term passkey manager. The platform supports cross-platform autofill on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and all major browsers through extensions.
1Password integrates with identity providers (Okta, Azure AD, OneLogin), SIEM tools, and offers SCIM provisioning for automated user lifecycle management. The Families plan supports up to 5 users with shared and private vaults, while Business and Enterprise tiers add advanced reporting, custom groups, fine-grained access policies, and dedicated account management.

1Password's security model requires both your master password and a locally-generated 128-bit Secret Key to decrypt vault data. The Secret Key never leaves your devices and is not stored on 1Password's servers, meaning a server-side breach alone cannot expose your data. This is a structural advantage over password managers that rely solely on a master password for encryption derivation.
Watchtower continuously monitors all stored credentials against the Have I Been Pwned breach database, identifying compromised, weak, and reused passwords in real time. It also flags accounts that support passkeys or two-factor authentication but haven't enabled them, providing actionable security improvement recommendations. The dashboard gives both individuals and IT administrators a clear view of organizational credential health.
1Password's developer tooling enables infrastructure secrets to be referenced from vaults and injected into CI/CD pipelines, Docker containers, Kubernetes manifests, and application configuration at runtime. The CLI supports secret references in environment variables and config files, the Connect Server provides a self-hosted REST API for server-side injection, and SDKs for Go, JavaScript, and Python allow programmatic vault access. This eliminates hardcoded credentials across the development lifecycle.
XAM unifies device trust verification, application access control, and credential governance into a single platform covering managed and unmanaged devices. It extends credential management to AI agents and automated workflows, allowing security teams to provision scoped credentials, enforce rotation policies, and maintain audit trails for machine identities. This addresses the emerging enterprise challenge of governing autonomous AI systems that require their own authenticated access.
Travel Mode allows users to mark specific vaults as safe for travel; when activated, all non-safe vaults are removed from all devices, leaving no trace of their existence. Upon arriving at the destination, the user deactivates Travel Mode and vaults are restored. This feature is unique among major password managers and is specifically designed to protect sensitive data during border crossings where device inspection may be compelled.
