Frequently asked questions about the new 1Password Community
On July 2nd, 2026, the 1Password Community is moving to a new platform. Here we have put together common questions and answers about what’s changing, what happens to your Community account and content, and what to expect during the transition. Will there be any downtime during the transition? Yes. There will be a brief period from June 25th, 2026 to July 2nd, 2026, where our existing Community (1password.community) will be read-only. This is to ensure all data is transferred smoothly when we move to the new platform. We'll provide advance notice and updates via the Community (1password.community) so you're informed every step of the way. If you have any questions about your 1Password account during this period, please contact support. Why are we migrating? Our new Community will include an improved layout, easier navigation, and better tools for discussions. It's designed to make your experience more intuitive and enjoyable, with better support, opportunities for feedback, and more. If you have any questions or platform feedback, please email us at community@1password.com Will I need to create a new account or re-register? Your existing account will be carried over to the new 1Password Community, but you will need to reset your password when you first sign in. What happens to my content? If you have an existing 1Password Community account, it will be migrated to the new platform, along with all your posts, replies, and interactions. When you sign in to the Community after July 2nd, you'll have the same username, but will need to create a new password. What if I don't want my current Community user account to be migrated to the new Community? If you do not want your data to be migrated to the new Community platform, please opt out by sending us an email at community@1password.com by June 23rd, 2026. You must use the email address associated with your current Community account and include your community username. This written notification is required for us to delete your profile before the migration to the new Community. If you opt out, your existing Community account will not be migrated and you will no longer be able to log in to the Community without creating a new account. Your Community user will be permanently deleted within 30 business days. Your previous posts and comments will remain accessible in the new Community under an 'Anonymous User’ label If you want to delete all of your data, including comments and posts, please make your request clear when you opt-out. How will this affect ongoing discussions and current threads? All ongoing discussions and current threads will be preserved during the migration. You'll be able to continue conversations seamlessly after the transition downtime described above. Where will my data be stored in the new Community? Our new Community platform, Gainsight, is hosted on Microsoft Azure cloud servers located in the United States and Germany.

In May, we introduced new features for Autofill on macOS and Android, as well import/export enhancements, and a way to create items more efficiently. We also relaunched our developer documentation hub with new quick start guides, powerful search features and a fresh domain change to match. In case you missed it macOS native AutoFill in beta We know you've been waiting for this one! In the latest 1Password for Mac beta release (version 8.12.22) we've integrated 1Password with Apple's native Passwords API. This allows your password manager to act as a system-level Credential Provider on macOS. Using the native Passwords API, alongside Universal Autofill and 1Password in the browser, will give you a more consistent filling experience across macOS. This is one of our most requested features, and we’re working hard to bring it to the production channel after the beta release. Follow these steps to try macOS AutoFill for yourself: Install the latest version of the 1Password for Mac beta. Navigate to 1Password Settings > Autofill > Set up macOS AutoFill. Select “Turn On” from the macOS permission prompt. If you’re using Safari, confirm Safari Settings > AutoFill > User names and passwords is enabled. * This feature requires macOS 14 Sonoma on Apple silicon. We’d love to hear your feedback on the update in our announcement post! Updated developer documentation Interested in setting up a service account for your AI agent, securely provisioning secrets, or managing your project’s environment variables? You’ll find in-depth guides covering all this and more on 1Password.dev, our new developer documentation hub. Our team has refreshed and reorganized the documentation to make it even easier to get started with our developer tools. We’ve also added some new get-started guides for developers, admins, and partners, as well as enhanced search functionality that lets you ask questions in plain language. 👉Read the full announcement in the Developer Community. More product updates announced this quarter If the macOS update wasn’t enough, May also brought a number of product updates including: the Autofill health check, Credential Exchange Protocol (CXP), and smarter login creation. You often need to tweak multiple system settings in multiple menus to ensure a consistent autofill experience on Android. If you miss a setting, or your device changes something without telling you, it can be tough to track down and fix the issue. Our new Autofill health check brings these settings into one place and highlights any settings that need to be changed. You might recall that we’ve been working on a new way to import and export data. This work is part of an industry wide effort to better facilitate credential migration across different systems with the CXP. That new process is now live in iOS and Android, making it easier to move everything including passkeys (yes, you can now export passkeys!) between different password managers. Last but not least: instead of starting with a blank login item, you can now type the name of widely used websites, like Reddit or Steam, into the title to prefill key fields. This not only means you can create items faster, but also helps ensure your items are filled where you use them. Random but Memorable May 7th was World Password Day! To mark this special day, we sat down with 1Password CISO Jacob DePriest to talk about the future of identity security.

Fixed an issue where 1Password in Safari could show an endless loading state when it couldn’t connect to the desktop app. Mac, Windows, and Linux You can now use Codex to interact directly with 1Password Environments using a local MCP server (currently in beta). We’ve improved support for importing your data from Bitwarden using CSV files. Secondary windows of the 1Password app will now open on your active display instead of your primary display. You’ll no longer see the option to share an item if item sharing is turned off for your 1Password account. iOS, and Android [iOS only] You can now control whether or not you’re prompted to unlock 1Password when you see prompts to save items in 1Password for Safari. [iOS only] Fixed an issue where you could see two prompts to unlock with Face ID when you selected a login to fill above your keyboard. [Android only] Fixed an issue where dates wouldn’t be localized according to your system locale settings if your in-app language was set to “Use system defaults”. [Android only] Fixed an issue where similar Identity items would be hidden from Autofill suggestions.What's next for 1Password education

February was all about AI agent security and developer workflows. From benchmarking model behavior to expanding programmatic access in 1Password Environments and SDK authentication, we continued strengthening how teams build and secure with 1Password. In case you missed it An ongoing conversation on OpenClaw and AI agents OpenClaw exploded in popularity this month, sparking curiosity across AI and tech circles. In short, OpenClaw is an AI agent that runs locally and performs personal assistant-style tasks such as managing your calendar, checking your email, or prioritizing tasks in your GitHub repository. From making reservations to building custom integrations, users have been quick to push the boundaries of OpenClaw. But with the excitement has also come concern. Agent gateways, such as OpenClaw, have access to the systems where they’re installed, making them a prime target for malicious actors. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve already seen skills that secretly instruct AI agents to deliver malware. As the use of tools like OpenClaw expands, it’s increasingly important to understand how to use them securely, and where the potential threats lie. Interested in the whole story? Our VP of Product, Jason Meller, has penned two recent write-ups on the topic: It’s incredible. It’s terrifying. It’s OpenClaw From magic to malware: How OpenClaw's agent skills become an attack surface Security Comprehension and Awareness Measure benchmark You might know how to spot and avoid phishing attacks, but can AI agents navigate the same scenarios? In our testing, even the most capable AI models were susceptible to common phishing strategies. As AI agents take on more tasks for us, and begin to act like employees, how they handle phishing is becoming a significant security concern. That’s why we built the Security Comprehension and Awareness Measure (SCAM). It’s a benchmark that tests how AI models handle phishing attacks when performing tasks like scanning your inbox or filling credentials. Security Comprehension and Awareness Measure (SCAM) Demo Alongside the benchmark, we also created a security skill. that serves as a phishing crash course for AI models. Introducing this skill improved the likelihood that each model we tested would detect and avoid a phishing test by as much as 59.9%. Programmatic access to 1Password Environments beta and desktop SDK authentication general access Building on last year’s introduction of 1Password Environments, we’re now adding programmatic read-only access. This release allows you to programmatically fetch secrets via CLI and SDKs when those secrets are needed, and only for the time that they are needed. Secure your secrets at runtime with the 1Password CLI and Environments With many thanks to our developer community for testing and feedback, we’re also introducing an update to 1Password SDKs. SDK integrations can now authenticate through the 1Password desktop app with a biometric, or password prompt. This supports workflows such as vault management, vault permissions, and batch item operations. Secure your desktop apps with 1Password SDKs Read the full launch post Evolving our partner ecosystem The 1Password Partner Program enables MSPs and other partners to help their customers adopt the familiar security solutions we provide. This program includes access to sales and technical training, as well as go-to-market resources to support onboarding and growth. We’re now focusing on simplicity, transparency, and consistency to best serve our mutual customers, and help partners scale their businesses.

We’ve fixed an issue where 1Password could get stuck in a loop of repeatedly unlocking in Safari. We now correctly detect GitHub redirect URLs in the “Sign in with” flow. We’ve fixed an issue where 1Password could unexpectedly reload on a new tab in Firefox. Mac, Windows, and Linux We’ve fixed an issue where a prompt to turn on two-factor authentication couldn’t be selected. We’ve fixed an issue where the multi-factor authentication prompt could be missing when trying to unlock the app. We’ve added a new developer setting to enable SDK integrations, so you can authenticate SDKs with authorization prompts from the 1Password desktop app. If you load an empty .env file in Developer > Environments, it will now show a message saying no variables were found. [Windows only]: 1Password now supports a wider set of custom trusted browsers. [Windows only]: We’ve fixed an issue where the Windows Hello prompt could appear behind other windows or seem unresponsive. [Linux only]: We’ve updated our Flatpak Freedesktop dependencies to version 25.08. iOS, and Android [iOS only]: We’ve fixed an issue where Secure Note text would be cut off.

[iOS only]: When a file attachment preview screen is dismissed in search results, it no longer re-appears automatically.
November 2025 at 1Password: Access-Trust gap, planning your estate, and an updated unlock experience
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.
