Give Claude access without giving up your credentials

AI agents are getting better at handling real tasks for you, from shopping and managing subscriptions to updating accounts and navigating complex workflows. But as soon as they hit a login page, you're usually forced to choose: hand over your credentials or take over yourself.

That's why we worked with Anthropic to introduce 1Password for Claude. Now Claude can complete browser tasks that require logins and one-time passcodes, while your credentials stay encrypted in 1Password and out of the model's context.
 


 

With the integration, you can:

  • Let Claude sign in to websites using credentials stored in 1Password, without revealing your passwords or one-time codes.
  • Complete everyday tasks like redeeming expiring rewards, managing subscriptions, or checking your accounts with just a few prompts.
  • Use Claude with your favourite websites while approving every credential request, so you're always in control.
  • Keep your credentials secure, with access granted only for the current task.
  • Automatically protect your entire vault with Agentic Mode, which limits Claude to only the credentials you explicitly approve.
  • And much more.

Under the hood, your credentials never leave 1Password. Passwords and one-time codes aren't stored in Claude, written into its context, or exposed to the model. After your approval, 1Password securely fills the required credentials directly into the webpage, so Claude can finish the task without ever seeing your secrets.

    Hi ​@1P_Blake ! The 1Password connector mentioned in the instructions doesn’t seem to exist. When searching for it in Claude, it’s not present in the list. Did something happen?

    Hey ​@rdcezar! Are you using a personal Claude account, or a Teams/Enterprise account?

    One thing we’ve seen trip a few folks up is that on Team and Enterprise accounts, an Owner or Primary Owner first needs to turn on Password managers in Claude before the 1Password connector will appear.

    @1P_Blake I am using a macbook pro.  I have the most current 1Password app and Claude app open on my desktop.  I even installed the Chrome extensions for both just in case.  Claude connectors simply cannot find the 1Password connector at all.  Claude suggested I come here for an answer.  I have a personal Pro account, not part of a team or enterprise.

    Hi @1P_Blake - I have a related but different problem.

    For me the 1Password connector DOES appear, and pairing succeeds (I get the "Authorize Claude with 1Password" dialog and approve it with Touch ID). But every credential request then fails with "relayUnavailable" - the relay between the browser extension and the desktop app never seems to come up.

    I'm on a personal Claude Pro account, so the Team/Enterprise "Password managers" toggle doesn't apply to me.

    Setup: macOS / 1Password for Mac 8.12.28 (81228025) / 1Password browser extension 8.12.28.25 STABLE / Chrome / Claude browser extension connected.

    Already tried, with no change: swapping the extension from Nightly to STABLE, restarting Chrome / the 1Password app / the Mac, re-doing the pairing, and toggling "Integrate with 1Password SDKs" both on and off. Same result in both the Claude desktop app (Cowork) and Claude Code.

    Any idea what else could stop that relay from coming up?

    I’m seeing “Couldn't connect to 1Password. Check that it's open, then try again.” when I try to enable the Connector in Claude Desktop - is anyone else seeing this?

    Hi ​@waddupcase! Just to make sure we’re not chasing the wrong thing, have you gone through the setup guide and gotten all the required pieces installed (Claude Desktop, Claude in Chrome, the 1Password desktop app, and the 1Password browser extension)?

    If you have all of those, could you let me know which versions of the 1Password app and browser extension you’re currently running?

    July 23, 2026

    Yep I’ve confirmed:

    • Claude for Mac - 1.24012.1 (0adcae) 2026-07-21T20:59:53.000Z
    • Claude for Chrome - 1.0.81 (and confirmed that auth works and it’s signed in)
    • 1Password for Mac - 8.12.28 (81228025)
    • 1password for Chrome - 8.12.28.25

    I’ve done a lot of troubleshooting over the past hour, and haven’t made any progress unfortunately. 

    From Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors → 1password → click the “Connect” button, the “Couldn't connect to 1Password. Check that it's open, then try again.” error appears immediately.

    Hi ​@1P_Blake ! 😊

    I'm running into a connection issue with 1Password for Claude and hoping you can help.

    Setup
    - macOS, Claude Enterprise account
    - 1Password desktop app: 8.12.34
    - 1Password browser extension: 8.12.34
    - Claude Desktop: 1.40609.0 
    - Claude in Chrome extension: 1.0.85

    Issue
    When I click "Connect" next to 1Password in Claude Desktop's Settings > Connectors, I immediately get this error (translated from Korean):

    > "Can't connect to 1Password. Make sure the app is open and that both the app and browser extension are up to date, then try again."

    What I've already verified
    - 1Password desktop app is open and unlocked
    - All four components (Claude Desktop, Claude in Chrome, 1Password app, 1Password extension) are on the latest versions
    - "Integrate with browser extension" is enabled in 1Password Settings > Browser
    - Our Claude org Owner has enabled the "Password managers" toggle under Organization settings > Claude in Chrome
    - Our 1Password admin has enabled "Allow AI agents to autofill for users" under Policies > Sharing and permissions
    - Restarted the 1Password app, Chrome, and Claude Desktop after the policy changes

    Despite all of this, the same error appears every time and the 1Password approval prompt never shows up.

    Is this a known issue on Enterprise accounts, and is there a fix planned in an upcoming release? I'm really excited about this integration — being able to have Claude handle sign-ins through 1Password would be a huge boost to my daily workflow, so I'd love to see this resolved soon. Happy to provide logs or any other details if that helps. Thanks!
