Like other password managers, 1Password is preparing for the next world. The software begins to open to passkeys.
The transition from password managers to passkeys continues. After Dashlane, it’s 1Password’s turn to switch to the next world, without passwords. The company that designed the application announces the availability – in beta for the moment – of this new feature in its ecosystem. The release in final version is planned later.
” Today we’re taking a big step forward and announcing that passkey support is starting to come to 1Password. ,” the company writes in a blog post. ” Using 1Password public betas in the browser, you can now register and log in to online accounts with passkeys. »
1Password’s upgrade concerns its web browser extensions (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Safari, on the three major operating systems), but also dedicated software on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux. ” You can view, edit, move, share and delete any passkey created with 1Password. »
The password manager industry is adapting
If 1Password communicates today on passkeys, this subject has been under construction in the company for months. In November 2022, the company promised that this mechanism would soon arrive in its bowels. She is not the only one to position herself in this niche. Other major managers, from Dashlane to LastPass to BitWarden, follow this trend.
The development of passkeys is supported by the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) alliance, which brings together several key players in the tech and authentication industry. Dashlane, LastPass and 1Password are members, as are Google, Apple, Microsoft, which are also very committed to this issue. Other major companies are listed, including Intel, PayPal, Amazon, Visa and MasterCard.
