1Password now available in Comet, the AI-powered browser by Perplexity
- 2 months ago
Hi all, thanks for raising these questions and sharing your concerns.
At 1Password, our guiding principles are privacy, security, and transparency, and ensuring people can use the tools they choose safely. We know AI and new browsing technologies raise important questions, which is why our role is to give people choice without compromising trust.
To clarify a few points about our partnership with Perplexity on the Comet browser:
- Your data remains private. Nothing about this partnership changes how 1Password works. Vaults are end-to-end encrypted, and neither Perplexity nor Comet has access to your information. Your secrets remain encrypted and never leave your control.
- The extension is the same. The 1Password browser extension works in Comet exactly as it does in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and other Chromium-based browsers. There is no special integration that exposes additional data.
- This is about choice. Our customers want us to be where they are. For those who want to try Comet, we are ensuring their login and autofill experience is secure, just as it is in other browsers.
We take trust seriously and will continue to make decisions with privacy, transparency, and security at the core.

In agreement with Sid. This partnership risks alienating a large part of the userbase, especially promoting power users.
Unlike Sid I am in disagreement that the partnership is good for 1Password. I do not want AI in any way to be close or near to actual secrets and passwords. The idea that an AI could automatedly/agentically/buzzwordofthedayily "use 1Password to sign into your email" is quite honestly abhorrent to me.
I think a further announcement clarifying and some form of apology would certainly go part of the way to repairing some of the massive damage done by today's marketing spam.
Shame, really.
