1Password brings secure credential access to Anthropic’s Claude
Identity security company 1Password today launched 1Password for Claude, a browser integration that lets Anthropic PBC’s Claude use a person’s stored logins to complete online tasks without those credentials ever reaching the artificial intelligence model.
The tool targets a problem that has grown as AI agents begin acting on people’s behalf. To let an agent sign in somewhere, users have generally had to paste credentials straight into the agent’s context, where the model can read them. The other option was stopping to authenticate by hand at every step.
1Password for Claude drops that tradeoff. Credentials are injected into the target site through a secure channel that 1Password controls, and the password and any multifactor onetime code stay outside the model, its memory and Anthropic’s systems.
Access is granted per session and scoped to a set of approved items. It does not carry into other sessions and it leaves no standing access behind. Claude requests the credentials it needs for a given task and the user approves or denies each request with a single biometric prompt.
