October at 1Password: Defining new standards, empowering communities, and securing the future
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. Read the announcement 1Password for Good donates $100k during Cybersecurity Awareness Month During October Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we gave back to communities by donating $100,000 USD to six organizations working to ensure that the next generation has access to the technology education, digital literacy, and online safety skills they need. It’s one of the many ways we are helping communities through our 1Password for Good efforts, including launching a cybersecurity guide for parents with the Family Online Safety Institute.

Welcome to your monthly roundup of what’s new in the world of 1Password! Read our 2025 annual report: The Access-Trust Gap The Access-Trust Gap is the widening divide between the types of access that security and IT teams can control and the reality of how people, and now AI agents, access sensitive systems and data in practice. We recently published our annual Access-Trust Gap report with findings based on the responses of more than 5000 individuals working in security, IT, and knowledge-based roles. Our report presents insights on where the Access-Trust Gap is the widest, and where employees are commonly accessing resources without proper controls: 37% of employees don’t follow their company’s AI policy 52% of employees download apps without IT approval 70% of IT/IS professionals say SSO doesn’t secure employee identities Along with the report you can read three supporting articles which explore key insights in detail, and provide further recommendations on how to close the Access-Trust Gap with 1Password. Access-Trust Gap Report The enterprise AI crisis SSO is falling short Password habits are worsening Introducing a new unlock experience We’re excited to share that our updated unlock experience is now available on 1Password for Mac and Windows. This update introduces device-based unlock options as well as unlock presets that allow you to find the right balance of security and convenience. That means you can now choose to unlock 1Password with your device, use your device password to unlock 1Password, and adjust how frequently your password is required. You can find all the details in our announcement. Windows 11 Passkey Support Creating and using passkeys has been available on Windows with 1Password in the browser since 2023. Expanding our passwordless features, 1Password for Windows now offers native Windows passkey support. That means you can create and use passkeys in desktop apps, as well as in the browser, then seamlessly sync them with 1Password. If you have any questions, or are curious to learn more you can check out the announcement post here in the Community. Read our digital estate planning guide Estate planning is an important consideration for everyone. However, what often goes overlooked is a handover plan for online accounts and digital assets. This month we released our digital estate planning guide to help you make sure these important details aren’t forgotten. How will you transfer accounts with 2FA or passkeys to your family members? What will you do with accounts that are left to you in a digital estate? Our digital estate planning guide walks you through these questions and many more.

We’ve fixed an issue where websites with many fields and dropdowns could crash in Chromium browsers when using the 1Password browser extension. Localization has been improved for a number of our supported languages using new translations from Crowdin. We’ve fixed an issue where business passkey policies prevented personal accounts from filling passkeys while 1Password was locked. Mac, Windows, and Linux We’ve fixed an issue where 1Password would open in front of other windows after a silent MSIX update. [Windows] We’ve fixed an issue that prevented rich SSH and CLI prompts from appearing on Wayland. [Linux] If duplicates are detected when you import environment variables, you can now choose to ignore, overwrite, or keep both. We’ve expanded the additional browsers you can connect to the 1Password app to include browsers that use more complex background processes. [Mac] When you view an Environment in 1Password, updated wording now distinguishes between temporarily revealing variables and changing their default visibility. We’ve fixed an issue that caused comma-separated URLs in code blocks within Secure Notes to change when you saved them. In-app updates are now blocked for MSIX system-wide installs and Microsoft Intune-managed deployments to avoid issues tracking 1Password’s install state, update failures, and de-provisioning. [Windows] iOS, and Android There are new unlock settings and presets available for the 1Password app, including Unlock with device. You can manage these settings in the app under Settings > Security. If biometric unlock fails, you can now use the SSO login option instead. [iOS] We’ve fixed an issue that caused comma-separated URLs in code blocks within Secure Notes to change when you saved them.

Migrating credentials no longer has to mean insecure plaintext files or vendor lock-in. That’s why we’re proud to share that the FIDO Alliance has published the Credential Exchange Format (CXF) as a Proposed Standard, co-edited in part by contributors from 1Password. This new format gives providers a consistent JSON-based way to transfer credentials securely between services and represents a real move away from CSV exports. CXF lays the groundwork for secure migration across services without exposing sensitive data or forcing people to rely on ad-hoc export tools. It supports a wide range of credentials from passwords, passkeys, SSH keys, TOTPs, payment cards, Wi-Fi credentials, API keys, and more — and creates a path for providers to handle transfers in a more consistent way. Early support for CXF is already starting to land across the industry. Apple has introduced APIs for bulk credential import and export, Google is doing the same on Android, and 1Password and other FIDO members have already demonstrated cross-platform passkey transfers using the format. Read more about the work behind this milestone, the contributors involved, and what comes next in the full blog post. Got questions about the Credential Exchange Format?

Thanks for considering the opportunity!The Access-Trust Gap: Annual Report 2025
Unsanctioned AI tools. Patchy access controls. Unmanaged apps and devices. And of course, compromised credentials. These are the issues revealed in our latest 1Password Annual Report 2025: The Access-Trust Gap. Based on a survey of over 5,000 knowledge workers, IT and security professionals, and CISOs, the report captures a moment of rapid technological and cultural change. The rise of hybrid work, SaaS sprawl, personal device use, and generative AI have all stretched identity and access tools like SSO and MDM beyond their limits. The result is what we call the Access-Trust Gap — the divide between the access that IT and security teams can govern, and the reality of how people (and now AI agents) actually access sensitive data. The report highlights four areas where that gap is widest: AI tools: High enthusiasm, low policy compliance. SaaS apps: Shadow IT and unmanaged access remain rampant. Credentials: Weak and reused passwords still drive breaches. Devices: MDM alone can’t keep pace with today’s hybrid workforce. Together, these findings paint a picture of an enterprise world struggling to keep up with how (and where) work happens today. The good news? There’s a clear path forward. We outline how organizations can close the Access-Trust Gap by pairing stronger governance with modern tools like 1Password Extended Access Management, Trelica by 1Password, and 1Password Device Trust — helping companies embrace AI and modern work securely. 📘 Read the full report: 1Password Annual Report 2025 📰 Read the blog post: The enterprise AI crisis: Unsanctioned tools and unenforced policiesAugust at 1Password: Android filling updates, Pax8 Marketplace, and AI security insights

Enhanced access review features with Trelica by 1Password Trelica by 1Password is helping to close security gaps created by unmanaged app access, shadow IT, and more. We’ve made this process easier and more efficient than ever with new access reviews. These new capabilities allow security teams to conduct continuous and scheduled reviews supporting proactive deprovisioning and access auditing across all apps. Reviews are automated and fully auditable with clear, detailed reporting. Research on security challenges caused by AI AI is front of mind for tech and security experts alike. In our ongoing work to lead security conversations relating to AI, we commissioned a survey of 200 North American security leaders which identified four key concerns around AI governance and security controls: Limited visibility into AI tool usage AI and security policy enforcement Unintentional exposure via AI access Unmanaged AI You can find more about these security concerns, and how to mitigate them with 1Password, in our blog post.
