Business product updates: June 2026
Over the past few years, everyone involved with tech has learned a lot about AI and its many contradictions. From a user perspective, AI is effective precisely because it’s so simple; it finally delivers on the promise of a computer you can just talk to. But from a security perspective, AI poses challenges of incredible complexity, and requires us to fundamentally rethink how we govern identity and access.
Likewise, AI agents are only as effective as the access you grant them, but too much access can blow a hole in budgets and security programs alike.
So how do we reconcile all these contradictions? In this edition of the newsletter, you’ll see many of 1Password’s answers, from an exciting new acquisition to innovative new features. We hope you enjoy it.
1Password is a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader in SaaS Management
IT and finance leaders are facing an urgent problem: Token budgets that were supposed to last the year are gone in months. Uber burned its entire 2026 AI budget in four months on a single AI coding tool, and that’s merely the most public example of this crisis. These unpleasant surprises are what happens when AI spend is fragmented across vendors with no centralized visibility.
1Password SaaS Manager is built to give IT and finance teams a single place to track AI and SaaS spend, control token consumption, and catch overages before they hit.
Gartner just named 1Password a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant™ for SaaS Management Platforms. Download the report to see how we got there, and what it means for how you manage AI and SaaS.
Big news: 1Password has acquired Apono
Apono brings just-in-time privileged access governance to the 1Password Unified Access platform, meaning access is granted only when needed, scoped to the task, and automatically revoked when done. No more standing permissions. No more guesswork.
Whether it's your people, your machines, or your AI agents, every identity is covered. The future of secure access is here, and you're already part of it. 🚀

Product updates
Set up your team with 1Password developer tools
1Password Developer Tools are now available in the desktop app sidebar for all users, making them easier for any employee handling machine credentials to discover and adopt. To help your team get started, we've launched a new quick start guide with recommended policies, setup steps, and rollout guidance for IT and security teams.
Get your developers up and running with secure, low-friction workflows for secrets, SSH keys, environment variables, and AI-assisted development.
Account Governance: Take control of every credential
IT teams can now move beyond SSO to manage the credentials that fall through the cracks. By combining Enterprise Password Manager (EPM) and SaaS Manager, admins can discover SaaS apps and shared credentials stored in employee vaults, assess account risk based on blast radius and data sensitivity, and seamlessly transfer login ownership to IT-managed vaults.
The best part? Employees never see a disruption, continuing to sign in via autofill while IT rotates passwords or revokes access centrally.

1Password + Kiro: Trusted Access for AI-Powered Development
We’ve expanded the 1Password MCP Server to Kiro, making 1Password the trusted access layer for AI-powered development in Kiro.
Credentials are issued at runtime, scoped to the assigned task, and never enter the model's context window. Agents get the access they need, and secrets stay where they belong.
With this integration, developers can securely configure environments, clean up hard-coded secrets, and give AI workflows scoped access to the credentials they need without exposing secrets to the model context.

Describe what you want to find, and Device Trust’s AI writes the osquery for you
Investigating your endpoints no longer requires writing SQL by hand. Device Trust can now turn a plain-English request into a ready-to-run query you can execute across your entire fleet in a single click.
Ask which devices have Powershell disabled, which are running unsanctioned AI tools, or which have remote-access software installed, and get an answer in seconds. Every query includes a Show osquery view so you can review the exact SQL before anything runs.
