1Password and Anthropic Bring Secure Credential Access to Claude

1Password has introduced a browser integration that lets Anthropic‘s Claude access stored credentials but doesn’t share those credentials with the model, its memory or Anthropic’s systems.

The browser integration, 1Password for Claude, is designed to let users authorize Claude to complete tasks such as booking travel and managing accounts, while preventing the model from seeing the credentials as well as retaining control over when and why the credentials are used, 1Password said in a Thursday (July 16) press release.

For example, an everyday AI user can have Claude redeem credits on Audible, and a small business owner can have Claude provide a Stripe revenue summary. In each case, the agent can perform the task without seeing the user’s credentials, 1Password said in a Thursday blog post.

“Claude knows it used your login; it does not need the password or one-time code in its context,” 1Password Chief Technology Officer Nancy Wang said in the press release. “That distinction is where trust in agents starts and the foundation we’re building with Anthropic.”

1Password for Claude is now available to 1Password users on Mac. The company plans to extend this solution to additional browser-based agents and platforms, and to add support for payment cards and identity detailer, according to the release.

The PYMNTS Intelligence report “2026 Global Digital Shopping Index: The Agentic Commerce Deep Dive” found that the willingness of consumers to delegate to AI agents varies by task.

While 56% of consumers will let an agent search and compare products on their behalf, fewer than 40% will let one touch their payment credentials, according to the report.

“Still, most consumers say they would let agents make purchases for them if the right guardrails are in place,” the report said.

Another PYMNTS Intelligence report, “The Prompt Economy: Tokens, Trust and Transactions,” found that the impact of agentic commerce introduces new possibilities for how consumers and merchants interact.

The report also found that payment networks and other payment service providers are building developer tools and solutions that bring tokenized payments into AI environments to facilitate agentic commerce.

“These solutions take different forms, but the goal is the same: Make tokenized, network-level payments accessible to AI systems while enhancing personalization and security for consumers and merchants,” the report said.
