July at 1Password: Passkeys in the browser, back-to-school security tips, and new enterprise controls

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

Full passkey support arrives in the browser extension

While passkeys have been available in 1Password for some time,  this month marks a major milestone as you can now create, manage, and sign in with passkeys directly from the 1Password browser extension (No desktop app required).

This update makes it easier than ever to upgrade logins, organize passkeys, and adopt a passwordless future. Watchtower will even flag logins that support passkeys so you know where to start.

Browse the passkey directory or check out the release notes for more information.

Heading back to school? We’ve got you covered.

From Chromebooks and parent portals to AI tools and online scams, school is digital now – and that comes with risks.

We shared two new guides this month to help families stay organized and secure as the school year kicks off:

1. Back-to-school tips for families and students
2. Step-by-step setup guide for 1Password Families

A unified future: What’s next for our end-user experience
