Less than six months ago, artificial intelligence (AI) was largely considered to be in its infancy and primarily used for niche applications, like editing photos and keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. But that’s all changed. Since OpenAI introduced GPT-3.5 in November 2022, the possibilities of generative AI have come to dominate the popular imagination.

We introduced support for time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) way back in the dark ages of 2015.

Back in March, we shared our plan to develop a privacy-preserving telemetry system that will help us build an even better 1Password. The goal was simple: to better understand how people are using 1Password, where they’re getting stuck, and which updates we should be focusing on first.

We’re proud to announce that 1Password has been selected as one of 30 companies in the prestigious Enterprise Tech 30 list for 2023.

We’re always captivated by WWDC, Apple’s annual developer conference, and the announcements shared during its keynotes and various breakout sessions. This year’s conference was particularly exciting because Apple unveiled a new passkey API that will be implemented in iOS 17. The API will enable password managers like 1Password to create and use passkeys inside any native app that has added passkey support, including Safari.

Last year, we joined the FIDO Alliance and committed to building safer, simpler, and faster login solutions for everyone. Today, we’re taking a major step forward and announcing that passkey support has started to arrive in 1Password. Using the public beta versions of 1Password in the browser, you can now save and sign in to online accounts with passkeys.

The term ‘passwordless’ is easy to wrap your head around (no passwords!) but is often used as an umbrella term that includes passkeys and magic links sent via email or text message.
