1Password for Claude lets Claude complete browser tasks that require signing in, using logins you've already stored in 1Password — a password manager, a separate app for safely storing your passwords and login details. 1Password fills the credential directly on the page, so Claude never sees your password or one-time code.

What is 1Password for Claude?
1Password for Claude is an integration that lets Claude fill in logins from your 1Password vault when it hits a sign-in page during a browser task, instead of asking you to type credentials yourself. According to the official documentation, it's currently in beta — a pre-release, trial stage of a feature that may still change or be limited — for paid plans (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) using Claude Desktop on macOS, and it's available to 1Password customers on individual, family, and business plans. It's off by default for Team and Enterprise organizations.
What do I need before I start?
Per the official documentation, every item below must be in place before you can connect 1Password to Claude — missing any one of them will block the connection. Check the table before you begin.
| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| A Mac | This feature is currently macOS-only. |
| Claude Desktop | You need the desktop app, not the browser version. |
| Claude in Chrome | The feature that lets Claude control the Chrome browser directly to complete tasks on websites. |
| A 1Password account | Individual, family, or business plan. |
| The 1Password desktop app | Must be installed on your Mac. |
| The 1Password browser extension | Must be installed in Chrome. |
Note: If any of the above is missing, the connection won't go through. If you're on Windows or Linux, the official documentation indicates this feature isn't available yet, so you'll need to keep entering logins manually for now.
How do I connect 1Password?
You can start the connection from one of three places inside Claude Desktop. Per the official documentation, the entry points are:
- A banner in Claude Desktop that appears once 1Password is detected.
- An in-chat prompt that shows up when a task you're running needs a login.
- Navigating to Settings > Connectors (under Customize) in Claude Desktop and clicking Connect next to 1Password.
Any of the three paths leads to the same result. Once connected successfully, Claude will automatically trigger a 1Password request window whenever it reaches a login page during a task — that's the sign that setup worked.
How does approval actually work?
Approval happens per task, not as standing access to your whole vault. When Claude reaches a login page during a task, the flow runs like this:
- 1Password shows exactly which vault item Claude is requesting.
- You review the request and choose to approve it, swap in a different login, or deny it.
- You confirm your choice with biometrics — fingerprint or face recognition used to verify it's really you.
- Once approved, 1Password fills the credential directly on the page.
Per the official documentation, access is scoped to the current task and ends when the task is complete. After filling a login, 1Password checks that no credentials were exposed on the page; if a submission fails, it clears the filled values before returning control.
What can Claude see, and what can't it see?
Claude can see which login item it used for a task, but it can't see the actual password or one-time code behind that item. Per the official documentation, credentials are injected through a secure channel handled by 1Password, outside of Claude's view — they never enter Claude's context (the conversation it's working from), memory, or Anthropic's systems, and they stay encrypted in 1Password under your control.
What types of logins are supported?
1Password for Claude currently supports logins and one-time codes (TOTP) — time-based one-time passwords, the short codes you use once during sign-in. Other item types in 1Password, like credit cards and identities, aren't supported by this feature.
How do organization admins turn this on?
For Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner has to enable the integration before members can use it. Per the official documentation, the steps are:
- Sign in to Claude with your Owner or Primary Owner account — the admin-level role on a Team or Enterprise organization.
- Go to Organization settings > Claude in Chrome.
- Toggle on Enable for your team if it isn't already on.
- Toggle on Password managers.
Once these are on, eligible users in the organization can go through the same connection options described above (banner, in-chat prompt, or Settings menu). Turning this on organization-wide doesn't connect anyone automatically — each user still needs to install and set up the required apps and extensions themselves.
How do I use this safely?
1Password for Claude works alongside Agentic Mode — a protective feature of the 1Password browser extension that locks the extension down automatically whenever an AI agent is controlling the browser — to reduce credential exposure. Per the official documentation, when Claude takes over the browser, the 1Password extension locks itself, its interface is hidden, and only the logins and one-time codes you've approved for that specific task can be used; the rest of your vault stays out of reach. Agentic Mode is on by default at the extension level and works even if you haven't set up 1Password for Claude at all. You can open the 1Password extension at any time to confirm it's active or to cancel the current task.
Note: While this reduces credential exposure, browser-based AI still carries risk. Check each approval prompt carefully so you know exactly which credential Claude is requesting before approving it, and review how to use Claude in Chrome safely before working with sensitive accounts.
Frequently asked questions

Per the official documentation, it's in beta for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans using Claude Desktop on macOS. It's not currently available on Windows, Linux, or the free plan.

Q. Why isn't this available for my Team or Enterprise organization by default?
It's off by default for those plans. An Owner or Primary Owner needs to go into Organization settings, open Claude in Chrome, and toggle on both team access and password managers before members can use it.
