1Password announced 1Password Unified Access, a new agent security platform that enables organizations of all sizes to securely deploy AI agents and automated workflows without losing control of credentials, secrets and machine identities.
Unified Access is built on a clear operating model: discover existing agents and credentials, secure them and continuously authorize access and audit every action across human and AI agent identities.
Unified Access enables security teams to:
- Discover (available now) AI tools and agent activity across endpoints, browsers, and local environments, identify exposed credentials and secrets such as unencrypted SSH keys and plaintext .env files, and map AI usage to specific users and devices.
- Secure (available now) exposed secrets with one-click vaulting, govern human, agent, and machine credentials in a unified vault and apply controls to high-risk or shared accounts.
- Audit (coming soon) with end-to-end visibility into credential access across human and non-human activity, with clear records of which credential was used, when, by which identity and under whose authority.
At launch, 1Password is collaborating with Anthropic, Cursor, GitHub, Perplexity, and Vercel, as well as other category leaders in AI infrastructure, AI developer tools, MCP gateways, and AI browsers, delivering security where builders operate and get work done.
Unified Access Pro is now generally available. Later this year, 1Password will expand Unified Access to issue scoped credentials to agent and machine workloads at runtime, further reducing persistent access and strengthening governance as AI-driven automation scales.
