1Password has announced a partnership with Perplexity to integrate its security features into Comet, an AI-powered web browser, to enhance credential management, autofill, and access controls for users.

This integration emphasizes privacy and security by utilizing end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge architecture, ensuring user data remains protected during AI interactions.

Comet is designed to enable effortless and productive AI browsing while embedding security from the outset, reflecting 1Password’s commitment to privacy, transparency, and trust.

A demonstration showcased the extension working seamlessly with Amazon, where the chatbot assisted with login and checkout processes, highlighting smooth integration.

Current Perplexity users can access the 1Password browser extension for free, with new users receiving a 25% discount on subscriptions.

All 1Password users will gain early access to Comet, despite both services requiring monthly subscriptions, according to the company.

The extension allows users to autofill login credentials, credit card details, and generate strong passwords, functioning similarly to other browsers.

The partnership aims to facilitate easy and secure login to saved accounts, supporting seamless device and browser handoffs.

Agentic tools like Comet introduce new security challenges because they can interact with sensitive information and perform tasks such as placing orders, raising concerns about security and accountability.

This integration ensures that passwords remain encrypted throughout browsing and task execution, reinforcing privacy and security.

Google has launched the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), supported by 60 organizations including 1Password, to facilitate secure processing of agent-led payments.

Comet is an AI-enabled browser released a few months ago for premium users, featuring built-in chatbot assistance for tasks like shopping and booking.

1Password’s platform is trusted by over 165,000 businesses and millions of consumers, focusing on securing sign-ins across devices and managing access for AI agents and unmanaged devices.

Perplexity's browser already stores browsing data locally to prioritize privacy, and the addition of 1Password further strengthens its security foundation.
