🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that Nancy Wang has been appointed Chief Technology Officer at 1Password, where she’ll lead our global engineering organization and drive our AI strategy. As AI moves from experimentation to real-world deployment, identity and access challenges are evolving. AI introduces a new class of identity, one that doesn’t behave like a human and therefore must be governed differently from humans. Nancy brings deep experience building and scaling security platforms, along with a clear point of view on how identity security must evolve for modern SaaS and AI-driven workflows. 🚀 🔗 Learn more here: https://1password.com/press/2026/jan/nancy-wang-appointed-chief-technology-officer
AI-assisted development isn’t optional anymore. It’s part of daily dev workflows. But when AI agents gain access to your IDE, the attack surface expands, and trusted dev contexts can quickly become new vectors for credential exposure. In this new blog post, Jeff Malnick, VP Engineering, Developer and AI at 1Password, breaks down secure AI-assisted development best practices, including: ➡️ Treat project files as untrusted input ➡️ Avoid embedding secrets in prompts or project artifacts ➡️ Inject secrets only at runtime, with explicit approval 👇 If you’re building or integrating AI tooling, this is a must-read: https://1password.com/blog/ai-is-changing-the-ide-with-1password-security-keeps-up
🔐 Secure AI-native development without slowing developers down. 1Password now integrates with Cursor Hooks, giving developers a secure, just-in-time way to ensure required secrets are available to Cursor workflows via 1Password Environments, without providing unrestricted access to AI agents or writing them to disk. AI is accelerating how software gets built, but pasting tokens into config files or handing raw credentials to AI agents creates real risk. With 1Password + Cursor Hooks: ✔️ Secrets stay out of code, config files, and Git history ✔️ Credentials are made available securely at runtime via 1Password ✔️ Project owners can configure secrets management, so best practices are followed across the team The result? Developers move fast with Cursor while credential risk stays low. This is just the beginning of a broader set of secure developer workflows we’re building, making 1Password the secure path for AI augmented development. 🚀 🔗 Read the full announcement: https://1password.com/blog/bringing-secure-just-in-time-secrets-to-cursor-with-1password
