1297 TopicsApril 2026 at 1Password: Post-quantum protection, External Checks close the access gap, and AI-era security
In April, we began rolling out new protections that will keep your data safe in a world with quantum computers, we expanded how teams can enforce access with External Checks in 1Password Device Trust, and shared new thinking on AI agents, credential sprawl, and what it takes to secure systems in a faster-moving threat landscape. In case you missed it A first step toward post-quantum security Introducing the first major milestone in our post-quantum cryptography (PQC) journey: as post-quantum protection in the 1Password web app! 1Password now supports hybrid post-quantum key exchange in PQC-capable browsers like Chrome or Firefox. It all happens automatically – no user action required. This helps protect against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks, where adversaries capture encrypted traffic today in the hope that future quantum computers will be able to decrypt it. This is the first phase of a broader post-quantum roadmap focused on protecting your data against the threats of today and tomorrow. Read more about our first step toward post-quantum security. Building a Mythos-ready security program AI is accelerating how quickly vulnerabilities can be found and exploited, and security programs need to keep up. We looked at what security leaders can do now to prepare for a world where AI-driven vulnerability discovery happens at machine speed. The takeaway: patching still matters, but it can't be the entire strategy. Teams also need to limit the blast radius by controlling access, isolating agentic identities, replacing long-lived secrets, and making it harder for a single exploit to escalate into a larger breach. Read the full post on building a Mythos-ready security program. External Checks in Device Trust 1Password Device Trust can now factor in signals from other systems before allowing access to protected apps. With External Checks, access decisions can include more than device posture. Admins can pull in things like security training completion, policy acknowledgments, MFA enrollment, active employment status, and other verification signals from external systems. External Checks closes the gap between having a policy in place and actually enforcing it when someone tries to reach company apps and data. Learn more about External Checks in 1Password Device Trust. What we learned using AI agents to refactor a monolith We shared a behind-the-scenes look at how 1Password used AI agents to help refactor a large Go monolith. The work demonstrated how agents can be genuinely useful, especially for analyzing large codebases, building deterministic tools, and executing well-scoped changes. It also showed where they still need strong constraints, clear specifications, and human judgment. Read more about what we learned using AI agents to refactor a monolith. Protecting against OAuth-based supply chain breaches Credential sprawl continues to spread across SaaS apps, developer tools, automation workflows, and AI agents. OAuth makes it easy to connect new tools, but those connections can quietly become supply chain risks when permissions are broad, long-lived, or poorly tracked. We looked at how OAuth-based supply chain attacks happen, how Google Workspace admins can check which third-party apps currently have access, and why ongoing discovery is more effective than a one-time audit. Read more about protecting against OAuth-based supply chain breaches and credential sprawl. Chasing Entropy (Season 2) Season two of Chasing Entropy kicked off in April with three new episodes: Why secure-by-design is an incentives problem, with Bob Lord. Dave Lewis and Bob Lord get into secure-by-design principles, AI systems, software supply chains, and why security outcomes need to be owned at the organizational level. What cyber conflict reveals about power and doctrine, with Allie Mellen. Dave talks with analyst and author Allie Mellen about cyber conflict, attribution, geopolitics, and why defenders need to understand intent, not just indicators. Why friction is a security risk, with Dustin Heywood. Dave and IBM's Dustin Heywood (aka EvilMog) get into agentic AI, machine identity, quantum planning, and why security controls that add friction tend to get bypassed. Listen to Chasing Entropy wherever you get your podcasts. Random but Memorable April brought three new episodes of Random but Memorable to catch up on: What it takes to protect – and break into – data centers with Deviant Ollam Are you oversharing with AI? Author Jamie Bartlett has thoughts What to do if you’ve been hacked, with Glenn Wilkinson This month covered the physical side of security, safer AI habits, what to do after a compromise, and how supply chain attacks are feeding into one another.

The 1Password apps on my iPhone, iPad and Samsung phone are all offline, pressing reconnect does not help. I can log out and log in again, so there is some sort of connection, but the app is then in offline mode again. I contacted Support 2 days ago, but have not heard anything back so far (which is annoying in its own right).41Views0likes3Comments1Password Not Able To Log In To Gmail With Passkey
This is on Samsung S23. I am trying to log into gmail with a passkey stored in 1password but it does not work. This passkey works perfectly on my desktop. My understanding is that passkeys stored in 1password are supposed to be usable across devices. I have 1password set as my preferred autofill service and I have autofill with chrome enabled. When I try to log in, it only checks the Google password manager vault, and the option to autofill the passkey from 1password is never given. For my org, I am unable to log in to my email with a password, so I MUST use a passkey from 1password to log into my device. I see a lot of complaints about 1password autofill on Samsung devices on this community as well as on reddit. Is passkey autofill from 1password fully supported on Samsung devices? Please advise. Thank you11Views0likes0CommentsCan only create a new identity in android app
I've downloaded a new app, First Alert by Resideo. I'm creating a new account through the app. There isn't an option to create it on their website. When I get to the password field, my saved Identities show up. Since I don't want to use those, but instead want to create a new login, I tap "Open 1Password". 1pass opens and it shows "Suggestions for Resideo.com", which are only my saved identities. There is a +New Item button at the bottom of the list, but when I click it I'm only given the option to create a new identity. How can I create a new login instead? I've had this happen in other apps before, but when it happens I can usually create/save a login through the website. I'm on a OnePlus 12, Android version 16.49Views0likes4CommentsBiometric unlock not working: That didn't work. Check your password and try again
Hello!, I am experiencing an issue where my android app keeps failing to login with biometrics and when I login with master password it will also keep MFAing me. I enter it time and time again, but once I close the app or lock it, re-opening causes the same issue.| I will also note it is also refusing any of my MFA keys, only takes MFA via OTP. I am able to use my biometrics on 3 different applications, MFA keys via firefox. Issue: Biometric logins keep failing, and app keeps asking for MFA every time I enter master password. Error: "That didn't work. Please try again." Note: app does not allow attempting again, only allows master password. Troubleshooting: - Cleared all local storage and logged in again. Nofix. - Cleared all local storage, removed app, downloaded fresh, and logged back in. Nofix - Phone reboot. Nofix - In Settings>Security set: Confirm account: Every 30 days Lock mobile app on exit: Never Lock mobile app when device locks: Disabled - Locked device, entered master password, locked again, prompted for biometrics. Fails/nofix. - Set to password only (no biometrics). Works, no MFA prompt - Set to device unlock. Also fails? - Obtaining and sending diagnostics logs App info: App version 8.10.64 81064007 on Production Channel Device info: Motorola Razr 2024 Android 14 U3UCS34.63-88-12-3Solved1.6KViews2likes52CommentsPasskey not filling on Android
I keep running into an issue where the passkey can be created in both the app and website for shop.app / shopify.com and it can store in 1password but when you go to use it, it insists it must look in the default android store instead of 1password. I re-established the 1password autofill and other passkeys are fine, it's just this one that isn't recognizing. Well, there are a couple honestly, but maybe 90% of the sites load just fine. Is there something different about some sites that make them not work?55Views1like1Comment1Password is not respected as the default passkey manager on Android
Google Pixel 8 Pro Android 16 1Password for Android 8.11.6 Today, I decided it was the day to setup Passkeys across the supported website/services. Started 1Password for Android - > Watchtower and selected uber.com. Went to the suggested URL after tapping "Use Passkey". URL went to https://account.uber.com/passkeys. Logged in. Was presented the Passkeys page for Uber. Tapped + Create a passkey. Tapped Create a passkey at the popup dialog. Bam! Google Password Manager pops up asking if I would like to create a passkey to sign in to account.uber.com. Cancelled. I remembered doing this already so I went to the following places to check settings. Chrome -> ... -> Settings -> Google Password Manager -> Settings. Checked the following; Offer to save passwords (disabled), Automatically create a passkey to sign in faster (disabled), Auto sign-in (disabled). Chrome -> ... -> Settings -> Autofill Services. Checked Autofill using another service (Enabled). Tapped Android Settings and this is the 3rd place I check next. Alternatively, I can get to it by navigating as per point 3. Android Home Screen -> Settings -> Passwords, passkeys and accounts -> 1Password (Preferred service) - Enabled. Additional services: Microsoft Authenticator (disabled), Google (disabled). Can you put in checks in place please so this doesn't happen? If Google is doing something naughty, can you please work with them to resolve this? Please? Besides this, my experience on Android has been a mixed bag. Some login prompts, 1Password will have no issues popping up offering to autofill. But the MAJORITY of apps and websites, 1Password Autofill simply doesn't do enough. I have to jump back and forth to copy and paste passwords. Please let me know how I can help you folks resolve this.Solved1.7KViews3likes13CommentsI used 1password for Android 11, but I can’t anymore.
Hello, people. I’ve been using 1Password 8 (and previously 1Passport 7) on my Xiaomi Mi9T (2020) Pro for a long time now. My Android version is 11, and I can’t upgrade it. Agilebits announced on january 2026 that «With the late-February release of 1Password for Android, we will be increasing the minimum Android version to Android 12» but also «Devices that don’t meet the minimum version by the deprecation date can continue using 1Password for Android, but app updates will be unavailable until the device is updated to a supported Android version». So I thought I could use my phone for some more time. My battery couldn’t sustain a heavy use anymore after 6 years, so I decided to change it for just 60€ with the official assistance of Xiaomi; before service, I erased all stuff with a factory reset and used my wife’s Samsung (with Android 12) for a week. When I got back my Xiaomi I tried to install everything, but the Play Store told me that I could not install the current version of 1Password. So I thought about installing a previous version with the technique go to my account/manage apps&devices/select “not installed”. But I could ONLY install 1Password 7 as a previous version. The “uninstalled” 1Password 8 is incompatible with my phone (obviously). Nothing would have changed if I had NOT erased my phone AND/OR if I had NOT used my wife’s phone, I know. Ironically, while my Xiaomi was in service, I received the invoice for my 1Password account renewal… I also tried to find an APK of a previous version from sites as “UpToDown” but it failed to install. So it seems that now I have to drop my phone, with the new battery inside, and buy a new one. Unless someone has some possible solutions to share with me. Thanks in advance.

On Android it does happen most of the time, but not always. I have selected a collection. Whenever I have to enter my account password to the-login to 1P, and often also after the automatic locking of the app, the whole account is selected instead of my previously chosen collection. The steps are mainly Open the 1P app Select the collection Leave the phone alone for some time, e.g. some minutes or hours Open and unlock the app again The collection is not selected anymore44Views0likes2Comments
