1Password for Windows app keeps requiring encryption key transfer
I have a business account that uses SSO for authentication. I am able to authenticate in the browser just fine and use the browser extension with no issues. When I sign in to the Windows app via SSO, I am asked to transfer the encryption key from my browser. I am able to do this successfully, but I keep having to transfer the key every day or two. Is there a way to prevent the encryption key transfer from happening or to get it to stop repeating?
Help with 1Password SSO Unlock Across Multiple Desktops
Hi, I’m looking for some assistance with 1Password in a small office environment (around 45–50 desktops) that runs Hybrid AD. We’ve enabled Unlock with SSO, and it works fine on a user’s first workstation. However, when the same user signs in on another workstation, 1Password prompts them to transfer their encryption key. The challenge is that our users often move between desktops throughout the day depending on their work schedule. This constant key transfer prompt is disruptive. Is there a way to disable this key transfer requirement or a recommended best practice to allow seamless use of SSO across multiple desktops? Thanks in advance for any guidance!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!

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.
