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

1Password helps author a new open standard for secure credential transfer

We’re proud to have helped author a new standard called Credential Exchange Format (CXF), a major step forward in secure, privacy-preserving credential transfer between password managers.

CXF will enable people to move their data between password managers safely and consistently, without exposing sensitive details in the process. It’s an open standard developed with other industry leaders to promote portability without compromise.

Closing the credential risk gap for AI agents with Browserbase

Together with Browserbase, we launched Secure Agentic Autofill, an integration that delivers end-to-end encrypted credentials to AI agents in the browser, only when authorized by a human.

This partnership helps developers and AI researchers use LLMs securely by keeping raw credentials out of the model context.

Introducing .env file support in 1Password environments

We’ve added support for .env files in 1Password environments, now available in public beta. This update makes it easier for developers to securely load environment variables directly into local development setups, without exposing secrets in plaintext.

You can import, edit, and share .env files across teams while keeping everything fully encrypted and managed in 1Password.
