Cybersecurity and password service provider 1Password LLC today announced the launch of Secure Agentic Autofill, a new feature of its Enterprise Password Manager that securely delivers credentials to artificial intelligence agents operating in the browser.

Available exclusively in early access through an integration with cloud browser automation platform provider Browserbase Inc., Secure Agentic Autofill allows AI agents to authenticate with web services without ever exposing credentials.

With the new service, AI developers can connect a 1Password vault to power secure browser workflows, while information technology and security teams gain assurance that credentials and sensitive data stay protected with 1Password as the security layer for Agentic AI.

“AI is opening up new ways to help people work smarter and get more done, but the fundamentals of security don’t change,” said 1Password Chief Executive David Faugno. “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.”

Secure Agentic Autofill builds on 1Password’s approach to AI that is rooted in its principles of privacy, transparency and trust and brings these principles to Browserbase, ensuring AI agents can execute workflows under human oversight while credentials remain private, protected and not exposed. Using the service, business and consumer app developers can connect their 1Password vaults, configure which credentials AI Agents can access, and allow secure autofill only when required.

Key features of the integration include human-in-the-loop authorization with real-time approval prompts via 1Password mobile or desktop; privacy and security by default as credentials are not shared with the large language model or exposed in Browserbase logs and repos, maintaining 1Password’s security model; and just-in-time authentication, where AI agents automatically retrieve and inject login credentials, passwords and time-based one time password codes at runtime, without storing or logging secrets.

Secure Agentic Autofill is also easy to set up and supports automatic credential mapping, including smart selection of the right credentials for target websites during agent workflows to prevent phishing attacks, 1Password says. For auditing purposes, Agentic Autofill offers detailed audit logging that includes exactly when, where and how credentials are being used by the browser-use agentic AI.

“We see AI agents changing the way work gets done, from procurement and onboarding to customer service and research,” said Browserbase CEO Paul Klein. “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 available in open beta starting today for all 1Password Enterprise Password Manager customers using Browserbase.
