January 2026 at 1Password: Taking on credential sprawl and advanced phishing scams
We kicked off 2026 with a big step forward for access governance with 1Password Unified Access, rolled out stronger phishing protection, and shipped a steady stream of fixes and improvements across every platform. In case you missed it Governing access beyond SSO with 1Password Unified Access In January, we announced the public preview of 1Password Unified Access, a new capability that helps organizations discover and govern company-owned credentials — including shared and non-SSO accounts that often fall outside traditional identity systems. Unified Access combines 1Password Enterprise Password Manager and 1Password SaaS Manager to give admins a clearer view of which apps rely on traditional credentials, who has access, and when that access should be rotated or revoked. When someone changes roles or leaves, you can revoke access and rotate credentials with a single action. For employees, the App Launcher brings both SSO and non-SSO apps into one place, making it easier to get work done without hunting for logins scattered across portals and vaults. The public preview is available to 1Password EPM Business customers in US-hosted environments with at least 100 users. 👉 Read the announcement and learn how to join the public preview. Introducing extra protection against phishing attempts 1Password has always protected you by refusing to autofill credentials on mismatched sites. But we know that sometimes you might not realize why autofill didn't work—so you'd manually copy and paste instead, which could still get you phished. Now, we've added an extra layer of protection. When you try to paste a password into a site that doesn't match the URL saved in 1Password, you'll see a warning pop-up in your browser—a gentle nudge to slow down and double-check the URL before you continue. Phishing attacks are everywhere right now, and thanks to AI, they're harder to spot than ever. Those fake login pages look almost perfect, and it only takes one quick moment to accidentally hand over your credentials to a scammer. This feature is rolling out to all Individual, Family, and Business customers over the next few weeks. For Individual and Family users, built-in phishing protection will be enabled by default. If you're a 1Password Admin, you can enable it for your team in Authentication Policies in the admin console. 👉 Learn more about phishing protection. Random but Memorable We kicked off the new year with an episode focused on cybersecurity resolutions that are actually worth sticking to! This episode turns advice from last season's guests into a practical checklist, covering small, ten-minute wins like freezing your credit, using passkeys, turning on MFA, cleaning up your digital junk drawer, and adopting a "politely paranoid" mindset to spot scams before they do damage. "If your heart rate increases, your caution should too. If a situation is urgent, contact the sender through a trusted channel, NOT the website, email, or phone number you see in the message." – Dave Lewis, Global Advisory CISO 👉 Listen to the episode Release note highlights 1Password in the Browser When setting up the 1Password extension in Firefox, you now see the permissions page first.

Unable to access Our Family account
My wife had an individual !Password account. Later I subscribed to a Family account. I invited my wife to join the Family account. She received the invite and used the same username and password she had on the individual account for the family invitation. She received the secret key for the family account which is different from her individual account. I am using an IPhone and she is using a Samsung. I have confirmed/verified her account on my app. When she logs in to 1Password app using her password, which is the same for both account, it enables her individual account and shows the family account as "locked". The only way to unlock the family account is by using the organizer password and then she has access to ALL passwords including the organizer private vault. If she logs in to 1 Password by scanning her fingerprint, the app enables both her individua and family accounts, but she has access to all folders of the family account including the private vault of the organizer. Is it how the family account is supposed to work?
Dupliate passwords choices
Stareted recently, that for any login I am presented with 2 option to choose id & password. Entries are identical, but always double. This is on Android Samsung Internet Browser and Chrome as well. I did all cleanup of cache, even reinstall the browser but issue persist. I disabled and enabled form fill, no avail. Looking for some help what else to try. Thanks.
1Password disconnect message issue
On the 1Password app, when the app is disconnected from 1Password's servers, a message displays on the bottom of the screen. Tapping the message caused the app to reconnect but the disconnected message stays. Is it possible to make this message confirm that connection with the 1Password servers has been re-established?
Case issue when adding text to items
Perhaps this doesn't happen on other Android devices. These suggestions all pertain to a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G phone running Android 13, the highest allowed for this device. When you add a text field to an entry, 1Password doesn't like the double tap to keep the text uppercase. The editor will automatically lower the text and you have to tap, enter an uppercase letter, tap again, enter an uppercase letter and so on.
Cannot create passkeys for some apps (Android)
I am unable to create passkeys for some apps on android (like eBay). I always get the error message "Error creating passkey: The website or service was not able to send the required data to 1Password" When i try to create a passkey through the browser the option does not show up on Kiwi Browser and in Cromite i see the option but i can only delete, not create new passkeys. When i logout and try to log into the app again the app does not offer using the passkey i was able succesfully create on Windows. The logs show this: ```ERROR 2026-01-18T09:05:01.103+00:00 runtime-worker(ThreadId(9))[1P:/mnt/ephemeral/builds/dev/core/core/service/op-service-autofill-passkey/src/passkey_android.rs:61] Invalid request: Failed to deserialize credential from request: <redacted json data error>```December 2025 at 1Password: More browser options, easier sign-in, and safer saving and filling
Welcome to your monthly roundup of what’s new in the world of 1Password! Additional browsers now supported in 1Password for Windows 1Password now supports additional browsers on Windows including Zen, Opera, Waterfox, and Floorp. This much-requested update lets you save and autofill vault items without leaving your preferred browser. Now in beta: New sign-in experience in 1Password browser extension If you have an Individual or Families membership, you can choose to try a new feature in the beta and nightly version of the 1Password browser extension. This new sign-in experience combines all the sign-in methods – passwords, passkeys (coming soon), social logins, OIDC & SAML – into a single, simple interface focused on getting you where you want to go. To activate this in the beta or nightly version of the 1Password browser extension, go to Settings -> Autofill & save and switch on Sign in with Universal Sign On. Let us know what you think! New policies available to administrators for auto-save and auto-submit If you’re a 1Password Enterprise Password Manager administrator, you now have more granular control over filling and saving behavior: Autosave: Choose which item types 1Password can offer to save (credit cards, identities, logins, OTPs, passkeys, social logins, etc.). Autosubmit: Control whether 1Password can automatically submit forms after filling or if you want users to do that step themselves. Now in beta: Improved email options for account recovery We’re rolling out new account recovery options in beta for 1Password Enterprise Password Manager administrators . If you aren’t seeing this option yet, hang tight – you will soon. Administrators can choose to route recovery emails to specific users to get faster follow-ups and reduce email volume – or even send them to your internal IT ticketing tool. We hope this makes account recovery a simpler, faster process for everyone and would love to hear your feedback on it.
