The story so far

1Password has launched 1Password for Agents, allowing AI agents to sign into users’ accounts without seeing or handling their passwords, while requiring users to approve sign-in requests. Alexandr Wang announced that a 1Password integration for Muse would roll out across all platforms over the coming days. An agent identifies itself to 1Password using a unique digital key. 1Password then requests approval on the user’s own device before filling in credentials on the agent’s behalf. The service supports several AI agents, and 1Password says it is working with other companies to expand integrations. In the post Wang quoted, @dps said the Muse integration would let the agent sign in and continue working with approval for each login, while passwords remain in the vault.
