My colleague, 1Password Senior Security Specialist (and all round stand-up guy) Chris Butler, and I recently chatted about a trend that’s emerged over the past few years: attempts to capitalize on cybersecurity incidents through self-promotion.

You may have seen mention of a “passwordless future” – the concept of simpler authentication and no passwords. That future is rapidly approaching, and we’re excited to share a glimpse of it with you today.

SIM swapping, also known as SIM jacking, is a technique used by attackers to gain access to a person’s phone number and, ultimately, their two-factor authentication (2FA) codes.

Administrators, this one’s for you. 1Password 8 for Mac now includes a set of mobile device management (MDM) options. We’re also releasing PKG and MSI installers for Windows and Mac respectively, which we know have been highly requested by our business customers. These new tools make it simple to deploy and manage 1Password across your entire organization.

When a data breach appears in the news (which has happened a lot recently), many of us picture a hacker in a black hoodie, trawling through reams of code on a custom-built PC. We often imagine them finding a single mistake – a zero that should be a one, or vice versa – that lets them slip through a company’s defenses.

We like to get things done at 1Password, which is why we’re such big fans of Quick Access in 1Password 8.

We all use passwords every day to sign in to our devices and online accounts. But that doesn’t mean they’re a perfect solution.

Passage, a leader in modern authentication technology, is joining the 1Password team to help accelerate the adoption of passkeys for developers, businesses, and their customers.
