1Password, a leader in identity security, has unveiled Secure Agentic Autofill, a cutting-edge feature designed to deliver credentials safely to AI agents operating within browsers. Initially available through early access in collaboration with Browserbase, a cloud browser automation platform, this feature ensures that AI agents can authenticate with web services without ever exposing sensitive credentials. Developers can link their 1Password vaults to power secure browser workflows, while IT and security teams gain confidence knowing credentials remain protected by 1Password’s robust security framework.
“AI is opening up new ways to help people work smarter and get more done, but the fundamentals of security don’t change,” said David Faugno, CEO of 1Password. “At 1Password, we have always believed security should empower productivity, not block it. By partnering with Browserbase, we’re making it simple for teams to build and innovate with Agentic AI while keeping credentials and sensitive data protected by default. That way, you can focus on creating real value, knowing agentic AI identity security is built in by default.”

Zero-Knowledge Security Meets Agentic AI
1Password emphasizes privacy, transparency, and trust in its approach to AI. With Secure Agentic Autofill, AI agents can carry out workflows under human oversight, while credentials remain private and protected. Developers can connect their 1Password vaults, select which credentials AI agents can access, and enable secure autofill only when required. Key features include:
- Human-in-the-loop authorization: Real-time approval prompts via 1Password mobile or desktop.
- Private and secure by default: Credentials remain hidden from the AI and Browserbase logs.
- Seamless setup: A quick desktop setup connects 1Password vaults to Browserbase Director.
- Just-in-time authentication: AI agents inject login credentials and one-time passwords at runtime without storing secrets.
- Automatic credential mapping: Ensures the correct credentials are used for each website, preventing phishing attacks.

Tackling the Authentication Challenge for AI Agents
Secure Agentic Autofill addresses one of the biggest hurdles in AI adoption: secure authentication. As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, they must log in safely without constant human intervention. Traditional shortcuts have left embedded secrets within agents, undermining years of security progress. 1Password solves this by delivering credentials directly from vaults into Browserbase at runtime, under human oversight, with end-to-end encryption. The zero-knowledge model ensures that secrets never pass through or become visible to AI, giving organizations a safe and scalable approach to adopting AI agents.
“We see AI agents changing the way work gets done, from procurement and onboarding to customer service and research,” said Paul Klein, CEO of Browserbase. “As we move toward an AI-native internet, these agents need a trust layer for credential access. Our partnership with 1Password creates exactly that, extending their proven security framework into the emerging world of agentic browser automation, so organizations can scale AI confidently.”
Secure Agentic Autofill is now available in early access starting October 8, 2025, for 1Password customers using Browserbase.
