1Password product enhancements: Smarter autofill, phishing prevention, and more

At 1Password, we’re constantly working to make life simpler and more secure for our users, from the biggest businesses to each individual who signs up for our password manager. Over the past few months, we’ve been rolling out a slew of updates designed to make a difference for customers, whether you’re using us at home, at work, or (ideally) both. Here are some of the latest developments for you to explore. Upgrades to autofill and autosave One of the most immediate benefits of using 1Password in your daily life is a smooth experience of creating, saving, and inputting your credentials and logins. These updates help you get the most out of that experience, with fewer clicks, on the devices you already use. Universal sign-in for personal and business accounts Signing in just got simpler with a smarter, modern experience using a one-click prompt. Now in beta, 1Password seamlessly logs you into any site or service at the right moment using your desired authentication method (passwords, passkeys, social sign in, OIDC, SAML*). We remove all the extra steps so you sign in quickly and smoothly, while staying secure. *SAML is only available for business accounts that also have 1Password SaaS Manager. macOS autofill 1Password now works as a native Credential Provider on macOS, so your logins and passkeys easily fill right inside Safari and other desktop apps. Save and generate passwords in iOS 26.2 The password creation experience on iPhone and iPad should happen at the exact moment you need it, especially when you’re signing up for a new account. With this update, 1Password shows up natively in Safari and other iOS-native apps so you can generate and save a strong password right in the account creation flow, without leaving what you're doing. This makes it easier to capture credentials when they’re created and keeps account setup uninterrupted. Autofill health check for iOS The reliability of iOS autofill depends on a tangle of systems, and when there’s a problem with one, it's rarely obvious what's broken or how to fix it. So we built clear guidance that checks the autofill setup for you and deep-links straight to the exact setting that may need attention. That way, you can gauge if everything is configured correctly for autofill to work properly. Data ownership and migration improvements Transitions can be tough, and whether you’re moving to 1Password from another provider, or there’s been a change in the status of a shared account, you need access to your sensitive data with no interruptions. Import your passwords (Business accounts) We are making migrating from another password manager much smoother for our Enterprise Password Manager customers across Teams Starter Pack and Business accounts. A dedicated "import your passwords" step in an employee’s Guided Setup flow gives team members a clear, in-context nudge to bring over their existing credentials as they set up 1Password. Admins of Business accounts can control whether the step appears for their employees or not via a new policy, reducing the migration burden and getting teams to use and see the value of 1Password faster. Data ownership and retention (Families accounts) Members of a 1Password Families account are able to leave the account at any time. If they are removed from the account, they’ll now automatically receive an email and in-app notification guiding them through the process of moving to a standalone 1Password account. This ensures they retain access to their private data and experience a safe, seamless transition. (Even more) secure by design Naturally, as a security company, we’re constantly working to maintain and improve the safety of our products. These updates are designed to do just that, without adding friction for users or admins. Phishing prevention updates In January, we shipped a phishing prevention feature that alerted users if they were about to enter their credentials into an unrecognized site. Now, we’ve redesigned that experience with a smoother UI and a smarter risk assessment system. The feature now checks the current site against a curated, proprietary, and growing list of 50,000 verified URLs. It warns users about unknown sites and affirms the safety of trusted ones, so the URL can be added to an item for seamless future sign-ins. This gives users clearer, more actionable information to protect against social engineering attacks. Improved default unlock settings (business accounts) New and existing 1Password Business customers now benefit from updated default unlock settings and a more streamlined sign-in experience. These defaults make it easier to balance security and convenience from day one, while admins still have the flexibility to customize unlock and auto-lock policies to meet their organization’s needs. If you use 1Password Individual or Families at home, you’ll find these improved default unlock settings there, too. Enforce work-domain sign-ins with MDM (business accounts) Admins who rely on MDM polic
