1Password Launches Claude for Mac Sign-Ins, Hiding Passwords and 2FA Codes

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jul 16

Summary

  • Mac users can now let Claude sign into websites through 1Password without the AI seeing passwords, one-time codes or other secrets.
  • 1Password delivers approved credentials through a secure channel directly into the page, while Claude requests only the specific login item needed and each session requires biometric approval.
  • Agentic Mode locks down the vault when Claude controls the browser, leaving only task-approved credentials available and letting users cancel access at any time.
  • After each autofill, 1Password checks the page and wipes filled values if submission fails; support for payment cards and identity data is planned later.
  • The release turns a March Anthropic partnership into a shipping feature for business, family and individual plans, and 1Password says it could extend to other browser-based AI agents.
