August at 1Password: Android filling updates, Pax8 Marketplace, and AI security insights

Welcome to your monthly roundup of what’s going on in the world of 1Password!

Updates to autofill in Chrome and Brave on Android devices

Google’s recent changes to Chromium browsers on Android introduced improvements, but also created points of friction for third-party password managers like 1Password.

In response, we’ve updated 1Password for Android’s integrations with Chrome and Brave to provide a stable native autofill experience. Install the latest version of Chrome or Brave, then follow the steps in our guide to get your browser integrated with 1Password for Android. 

You can learn more in a detailed post from Patrick, our Android developer extraordinaire!

1Password MSP edition now available on the Pax8 Marketplace

After the general access launch of 1Password MSP edition earlier this year, we’re excited to announce our enterprise password manager is now available in the Pax8 Marketplace. 

The MSP edition of our enterprise password manager has been purpose-built in collaboration with over 1,000 MSPs to offer simple yet comprehensive tools for managing multiple clients, improving profitability while scaling, and protecting client data.

Enhanced access review features with Trelica by 1Password

Trelica by 1Password is helping to close security gaps created by unmanaged app access, shadow IT, and more. We’ve made this process easier and more efficient than ever with new access reviews. 

These new capabilities allow security teams to conduct continuous and scheduled reviews supporting proactive deprovisioning and access auditing across all apps. Reviews are automated and fully auditable with clear, detailed reporting. 

Research on security challenges caused by AI

AI is front of mind for tech and security experts alike. In our ongoing work to lead security conversations relating to AI, we commissioned a survey of 200 North American security leaders which identified four key concerns around AI governance and security controls:

• Limited visibility into AI tool usage
• AI and security policy enforcement
• Unintentional exposure via AI access
• Unmanaged AI
  
  

You can find more about these security concerns, and how to mitigate them with 1Password, in our blog post.
