1Password & Browserbase - Pioneering Agentic Autofill for Credential Access

In September, we took our first major step toward solving agent identity with Web Bot Auth, a partnership with Cloudflare and Stytch that established a shared identity layer for how agents self-identify on the internet.

Today, we're taking the next step. We're excited to announce a partnership with 1Password, the leader in credential management for enterprises and consumers alike.

Starting today, Browserbase customers can enable secure, instant access to any credential in their 1Password Vault for their browsing agents. This is enabled through Director.ai, our agent builder that lets anyone create and deploy browser automation with a single click.

Copy linkWhy identity matters

Think about what agents actually do: they verify financial compliance, gather invoices, and execute transactions. Every single one of these actions requires credentials. And trust.

People have spent years building trust with their password managers, carefully securing everything from their email to their bank accounts. We can't expect them to maintain a separate credential system just for agents.

Agents need to meet users where they are. That's what this partnership enables.

Copy linkThree Pillars of Agentic Identity

We see identity for agents breaking down into three critical components:

Copy linkWeb Bot Auth

Web Bot Auth solves the fundamental question: how do agents prove who they are? These agents act on behalf of users and enterprises, and they need access to the same applications humans use. Web Bot Auth makes that possible.

Copy linkCredentials/2FA

Credentials and 2FA are the next layer. Agents need secure access to existing credential stores without forcing users to duplicate their entire security setup. This is where 1Password comes in, letting agents tap into the vaults people already trust. **

Copy linkRBAC

RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) is the final piece, and it's critical for enterprise adoption. Not all agent actions are created equal. You want oversight when an agent executes a large transaction, but you don't want to drown users in constant approval prompts. Getting this balance right will define how agents scale in production.

We're already seeing this conversation emerge in the MCP space, and we're building for it now.

Copy linkWhat we're building for

This partnership represents more than an integration. It's a framework for how agents will access sensitive credentials going forward. Everyone at Browserbase and 1Password has been working tirelessly to make this real.

The vision is clear: agents that operate with the same level of access, security, and trust that humans have today. And infrastructure that makes it simple to build.

We're honored to help pioneer this experience, and we can't wait to see what everyone builds with it.

We're excited to see what you think,
