April 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. Release note highlights Browser extension Added settings that let you choose which item types appear as autofill suggestions in the inline menu. Reorganized Autofill settings for easier navigation. Fixed an issue where the browser extension didn’t unlock with the 1Password app. Fixed issues with the sign-in banner and Quick Access suggestions in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers on Mac. Fixed several autosubmit and website-specific autofill issues. Mac, Windows, and Linux Improved localization across supported languages. Updated the wording for unlock preset options.

op from a remote docker container?
Hi, We're using (linux) ssh remotely to connect to an on-prem bastion. Behind the bastion is a docker container we use for ansible deployment. There are several playbooks that need environment variables exported in order to run. It would be nice to pull these in on the remote container using op instead of the current cut/paste workflow. Is it possible to authorize the terminal locally with op signin and then schmooze that authorization into the remote docker container with ssh -A or something to allow the container to do something like: TOKEN=$(op read "op://Dev Secrets/GitHub Token/password") ? Our 1P accounts are issued through an enterprise and we use SSO for login with our on-prem IDP so there may be some restrictions with methods available (eg: service account token)Upcoming 1Password webinars

1Password deployment on VDI / Citrix environments - best practices and support status?
Hi everyone, We're evaluating 1Password for our organization and need to deploy it in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. I've read through the deployment documentation, but I'd like to get some clarity on a few points from the community or 1Password team. Our scenario: Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops (mix of persistent and non-persistent VDI) Windows Server-based session hosts User profiles managed via FSLogix / Citrix Profile Management Questions: Non-persistent VDI: What's the recommended approach for non-persistent/pooled desktops where the VM is reset after each session? Is it sufficient to persist the local data folder via FSLogix or Profile Management, or are there additional considerations? Multi-session hosts (RDSH): Is 1Password supported on multi-session Windows Server environments where multiple users share the same server? Are there any known limitations? Browser extension: Does the browser extension work reliably in VDI scenarios, especially when connecting to a locally installed 1Password app on the virtual desktop? Installer choice: The documentation mentions that MSIX is preferred over MSI. Are there specific VDI-related reasons for this recommendation beyond the passkey limitation? Any insights from organizations running 1Password in similar environments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Kolide Custom Checks?
Hi everyone, We have rolled out 1Password XAM and are really liking the Kolide Device checks. However we are running into edge-cases where we need to configure some custom checks and are struggling a bit. For example, we want to allow people with devices owned by other (partner) organisations access to some of our Kolide-protected apps. They have been allowed by their admins to install Kolide but they use a different EDR product that is not covered by the supplied checks. (Ie we use Crowdstrike Falcon, they use Palo Alto Cortex) Has anyone worked out a way to implement this sort of thing? Both in terms of a custom checks for Cortex and an either/or setup for EDR.Upcoming 1Password webinars

Some of our team member cant access the app within the vault.
I need some help. I’m the admin and password manager, and some team members can’t access the platforms in the vault I shared with them. A few users can log in without issues, but others are getting “incorrect password” errors even though the credentials are correct. I can log in fine on my end, so I’m not sure where the issue is. Because they needed urgent access, we had to share the passwords manually, which defeats the purpose of the vault. I’d really appreciate your help resolving this.Research opportunity: Help shape the future of 1Password + gift card for your time
