Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we discover, reason, and interact online. New browsers like Comet, the AI-powered web browser by Perplexity, are a tangible example of this. As AI becomes more embedded in how we browse the web, one truth remains: credentials remain foundational to everything we do online, and they must be secured.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that the 1Password browser extension is now available in Comet. With 1Password, credentials and sensitive data, like credit card information, used in Comet are protected by the same end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture trusted by millions of people and over 165,000 businesses.
Why security matters on the AI-powered internet
Think about how much of your life you unlock with credentials, including your email, bank account, favorite shopping sites, social media, and more. Now imagine asking an AI-powered browser to help you do a task that needs access to those things. The AI will need access to each of those items to complete the task for you.
This raises some critical questions:
- If you let an AI tool use your login information, how do you know your passwords are safe?
- How do you know AI tools aren’t storing or sharing your username and passwords?
- What happens if you give your login information to an AI tool and it gets hacked?
People asking questions like these are why we developed our security principles for AI and why we have a robust security model in place. Understanding how, where, and when AI tools are using your sensitive information is the basis of being secure when using AI.
The good news: when it comes to Comet, protecting your credentials is as simple as adding 1Password.
What you can do with 1Password in Comet
The 1Password browser extension is now available for Comet, offering a safe and secure way to access your credentials in Perplexity’s new AI-powered web browser. By using the extension with Comet, you get:
- 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 or passkeys for every account.
- Sync everywhere: use saved credentials across devices, operating systems, and browsers.
Together, these features enable you to use all of the data and credentials you have in 1Password right within the Comet browser, helping you stay secure while you explore the AI-powered internet.
1Password: Ensuring that the future of AI-powered browsing is secure
At 1Password, we’re being very deliberate in where and how we show up as it relates to AI. The security AI principles that drive these decisions are non-negotiables. With Comet, we see these principles in action:
- Secrets stay secret: credentials are stored securely in the 1Password vault and protected our 2SKD technology.
- Authorization must be deterministic, not probabilistic: the credential filling process is driven by deterministic notification and explicitly user driven action.
- Raw credentials should never enter the LLM context: credentials are filled by the 1Password browser extension on behalf of the AI browser and thus not exposed to the underlying LLM powering the agent.
- Security and usability are co-requirements: by bringing the ease-of-use and simplicity of the 1Password browser extension to Comet, you can easily explore AI-powered web browsing while still maintaining the security of your credentials.
