Easy two-way linking of related items (suggestion)
I understand that linking related items is one-way by default, but the majority of the time, I want to have 2 way links. Creating two way links is a bit tedious. I first go to create the first link which involved editing the item, adding a related item field, searching for the related item, and then saving the edits. Then I use that link to go to the related item and repeat the same steps to edit that item. If I'm making a lot of links (say to a new credit card), then it can be easy to miss one. How about adding a button when editing that says "make link 2-way" (or something to that effect). Where the yellow box is in the following image: Alternatively, when I go to choose the related item on the second item to make the reverse link you would add a "suggested links". Though the later options sounds more annoying to implement given that you'd have to find the link that points the opposite direction first in order to suggest it. 1Password Version: 8.5.0 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Windows 10 21H2
Desktop App and Browser Extension Login Sync Isn't Working
Awhile back, when I logged into 1Password either in my desktop app or the browser extension, the other would sync and get logged in too. But now I have to log into them separately. I do have the "Connect with 1Password in the browser" checked in my desktop app settings. Version Info: Vivaldi (Chromium) Extension: 8.12.4.46 Vivaldi Desktop App: 8.11.18 I don't believe I messed with any settings since, but want to see if anyone has any tips or advice to help with this. It's just a bit annoying having to log in twice. Thank you!
Remote Linux machine opens GUI
Setup: Linux Machine that I directly connect to when in the office. Has 1Password installed. Works great. ~/.ssh/config file has ``` Host * IdentityAgent ~/.1password/agent.sock ``` Windows Machine that I directly connect to when in the office or working remotely. Has 1Password installed. Works great. C:/Users/Me/.ssh/config file has ``` Host mypc User me HostName mypc.local ForwareAgent yes ``` The OpenSSH Authentication Agent service has been Disabled and Stopped so that my computer is listening to `\\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent` Issue: When sshing into the Linux machine from the Windows machine, git does not work. `git pull` when sshed will open the GUI on my Linux machine (I have watched both screens to test this) I want my WINDOWS machine to open its GUI for me to log in. There's no point to remote in if I can't use the Windows 1Password.February 2026 at 1Password: Benchmarking AI security & helping developers access secrets everywhere
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.

How security professionals actually protect their own families AI security tips for modern families with Childnet Release note highlights 1Password in the Browser 1Password items are now immediately cleared from the browser extension when a user is suspended. 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]: We’ve fixed an issue where exporting through Credential Exchange could fail for items with empty or incomplete website addresses. [iOS only]: We’ve fixed an issue where fields were intermittently visible when switching apps on iOS 26 if “Lock on Exit” was set to “Immediately”. [iOS only]: When a file attachment preview screen is dismissed in search results, it no longer re-appears automatically.
Can not create passkey for an existing account
Right now can I not create a passkey for an existing Facebook account. I use 1Password for Windows 8.12.4, with the Windows 11 integration to manage keys with 1Password, and 1Password for Android 8.12.4. If I try to make a passkey with the Microsoft Edge browser in Windows 11 do the passkey creation end with the failure "it was not possible to store the passkey". If I instead try to make a passkey in the mobile do the existing Facebook account not show up in the list of accounts, but instead some other existing accounts, when I am asked for in which account I want to store the new passkey. The only alternative I have is to store the passkey in a new account. When I did that did I notice that the new account were associated with the URL https://accounts.meta.com while I only had the URL https://www.facebook.com for that account, so I removed the new account and added the first URL also to the existing account, but that did not solve the problem. This has worked before in Windows before the new Windows 11 integration, but it do not work in the mobile either so it may not be because of the Windows 11 integration. Something must have caused this to not work any longer, and I unfortunately do not have more information about it to share except for this.
Improve “Sign in with” Dropdown UX (Sort & Filter)
Introduction Long-time Family and professional user here, and I must say I’ve been missing a better UX for the “Sign in with” feature for quite some time already... More specifically: As a user, when interacting with the "sign in with" dropdown and when I have too many "sign in with" options, it becomes difficult to find exactly which one I want to use. Sign in with dropdown 1Password for Mac 8.12.2 (81202037) Suggested changes 1. Sorting The dropdown currently doesn’t appear to follow a clear or predictable order. Looking at the image above, entries like “Beatport” and “Bitwig” appear between “Google” and "Microsoft", and it’s not obvious why. So, how about Use a clear default sort order (e.g., alphabetical by Name) Bonus: allow an optional (ascending or descending) sorting criteria by other fields, such as Username Website Tag Date (last edited) ... 2. Searching / Filtering Frequently when I open this dropdown, I already know which login I want to use. So it would be much faster if the dropdown supported typing to filter results... Even a basic, incremental search would be good enough already (because, currently, we have nothing.) Conclusion These changes are small UX improvements, but that would make daily use smoother for power users. With many entries, predictable ordering, searching and filtering make a big difference... And, of course, from an implementation and design perspective, you could also put all that into a reusable UI component. Who knows, searchable dropdowns might be useful elsewhere in the app…!
