1Password, a global leader in identity security, has unveiled Secure Agentic Autofill, a new feature designed to securely deliver credentials to AI agents operating within web browsers. The capability, launching in early access through an integration with Browserbase, a leading cloud browser automation platform, ensures AI agents can authenticate with online services without ever exposing login details.

Through this collaboration, AI developers can easily connect a 1Password vault to automate secure browser workflows, while IT and security teams maintain confidence that sensitive data and credentials remain safeguarded. The initiative positions 1Password as the trusted security layer powering Agentic AI operations.

“AI continues to reshape productivity, but security fundamentals must always remain strong,” said David Faugno, CEO of 1Password. “At 1Password, we believe security should enable innovation, not obstruct it. Our partnership with Browserbase allows teams to experiment and build with Agentic AI while keeping credentials and data secure by default. It’s about empowering creativity, backed by embedded identity protection.”

Strengthening Agentic AI with Zero-Knowledge Security

1Password’s approach to AI emphasizes privacy, transparency, and trust—values reflected in Secure Agentic Autofill’s design. The integration extends these principles to Browserbase, enabling AI agents to execute browser-based workflows safely under human oversight. Credentials remain encrypted and protected at all times, never revealed to the AI model or any third-party system.

With Secure Agentic Autofill, developers can connect their 1Password vaults, define which credentials AI agents can access, and enforce secure autofill only when necessary.

Key capabilities include:

  • Human-in-the-loop authorization: Real-time access approval through 1Password’s desktop or mobile interface.
  • Private and secure by design: Credentials are never shared with large language models or stored in Browserbase logs, maintaining 1Password’s trusted security framework.
  • Effortless setup: Quick connection of a 1Password vault to Browserbase Director through a seamless onboarding process.
  • Just-in-time authentication: AI agents securely fetch and inject credentials, passwords, and one-time passcodes (TOTP) during runtime, without any logging or permanent storage.
  • Automatic credential mapping: Smart identification of appropriate credentials for specific web domains, mitigating phishing risks.

Tackling the AI Authentication Dilemma

As organizations increasingly deploy AI agents to perform complex tasks—from onboarding and procurement to research and customer support—the need for secure, autonomous authentication has become critical. Many AI systems today still embed static credentials within code, introducing security vulnerabilities and reversing years of progress in secret management.

Secure Agentic Autofill resolves this issue by delivering credentials directly from a 1Password vault into Browserbase environments at runtime, using end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture. Secrets never become visible to the AI or external services, ensuring a safer and more scalable foundation for AI-driven automation.

“AI agents are fundamentally transforming how digital work happens,” said Paul Klein, CEO of Browserbase. “But as we move toward an AI-native web, those agents need a trusted mechanism for credential access. Our partnership with 1Password delivers exactly that—a proven security framework adapted for the next generation of agentic browser automation, enabling organizations to scale AI responsibly and securely.”
