The Borrowed Keys

For thirty years, the rule was simple: never share your password with anyone. On Thursday, 1Password launched 1Password for Agents, and the new rule arrived: share them with the AI, but never let the AI see them. Agents can now sign in as you, with your approval on every request, while the password stays in the vault. People were already pasting passwords into chatbots and leaving copies behind. The question is no longer whether the machine gets your keys. It is who holds them.
