Jess started her career at TechRadar, covering news and hardware reviews.1Password has launched a new browser integration for Claude that allows the Anthropic chatbot to access stored security credentials like usernames and passwords. The 1Password for Claude feature means that users can authorize Claude to complete multi-step tasks like booking travel and managing online accounts on their behalf without having to manually input their login credentials, but without actually exposing security information to Anthropic’s AI models, according to 1Password.That’s made possible by a new “zero-exposure security framework” developed by 1Password, which works by injecting the required credentials for each task through a secure channel that the Claude agent can’t view. That means that while the AI can be granted permission to use your stored details, it can’t actually see your passwords or MFA one-time code.Claude access is granted per task, and 1Password says its users can approve or deny each request with a single biometric prompt. That’s still a workflow interruption, but less of a nuisance compared to temporarily taking over to sign into accounts. As a precaution, 1Password says it also scans the page after every autofill to ensure nothing in form submissions remains exposed before returning control to Claude.“The moment an AI agent takes control of the browser, 1Password locks down automatically, limiting access to only the credentials explicitly granted for the current task,” 1Password said in its press release. “Nothing else in the 1Password vault is reachable.”1Password for Claude is available now for 1Password users on Mac, across business, family, and individual plans. The 1Password desktop app and browser extensions are required to use the feature, as well as the Claude desktop app and browser extensions.You can store a wide variety of security information in 1Password’s vaults, including passwords, passkeys, 2FA codes, API tokens, and personal information like your address and financial details. 1Password doesn’t specify which credentials Claude will be able to access, but it appears to be limited to login-related details for now — the company says that support for payment cards and identity details will be available sometime after launch.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Jess WeatherbedAIAnthropicNewsTechMost PopularMost PopularSony’s flagship RGB LED TV is incredibleDave Eggers told OpenAI staff that ChatGPT was ‘silencing an entire generation’Fine, electric mountain bikes don’t suckEven Microsoft couldn’t make Windows 11 work well on 8GB of RAMGod Of War TV series is recasting KratosThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.
