1Password partners with Perplexity to secure the future of AI browsing.

“The internet is entering a new chapter, one where AI is woven into everything we do,” said Anand Srinivas, VP of Product and AI at 1Password. “No matter how intelligent our tools become, they only succeed if people can trust them. At 1Password, we believe security must be part of the foundation when building AI products, not an afterthought. Partnering with Perplexity on Comet shows what’s possible when AI and security are designed to work together from the start: an online experience that’s powerful, seamless, and safer for everyone.”

Security that Enables AI Browsing

AI-native browsers, like Comet, have emerged to meet the needs that traditional browsers were never designed to address, and security must evolve with them. As the first security launch partner for Perplexity, 1Password has introduced a Comet-compatible browser extension, available for free to all 1Password customers, enabling safer and effortless access to their credentials. With the 1Password browser extension, Comet users benefit from:

• Privacy-first browsing: credentials stay private, even when engaging with AI features.
• Seamless autofill: sign in with usernames, passwords, and 2FA codes in seconds.
• Safer access: end-to-end encryption protects sensitive accounts.
• Stronger protection: generate and save strong, unique passwords and passkeys.
• Sync everywhere: use saved credentials across devices, operating systems, and browsers.

“Comet is designed to make AI-powered browsing effortless and productive, but that experience only works if security is also built in from the start,” said Dmitry Shevelenko, Chief Business Officer at Perplexity. “1Password stands apart in making security simple, combining privacy, transparency, and usability in a way that delivers both trust and a seamless user experience. Together, we’re bringing an internet experience that is effortless, productive, and secure by default.”

Securing the AI Era

1Password’s approach to AI security is grounded in privacy, transparency, and trust. Secrets stay secret with end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge architecture, and users maintain clear control over what AI can access, when, and why. These principles of secure-by-default innovation guide how 1Password builds technology and approaches partnerships. The collaboration with Perplexity on the Comet browser reflects this philosophy, demonstrating how AI-driven productivity and trusted security can work together, making secure AI adoption seamless and accessible for everyone.

Through this partnership with Perplexity, current 1Password customers will receive an email that offers early access to Comet. To learn more, visit our website and our blog.
