This past September we announced a critical partnership with Cloudflare and Stytch to cement Web Bot Auth as a shared identity layer for how agents will self-identify on the internet. Today we are announcing an huge partnership with 1Password, the de facto leader in credential management for large enterprises and consumers.

Starting today, Browserbase customers will be able to enable secure and instant access to any credential in your 1Password Vault.

Director.ai is our agent builder platform that lets anyone create and deploy browser use agents with the click of a button.

Web Bot Auth

Identity represents is a central challenge to all agentic use cases. These agents are acting on behalf of users and enterprises and Web Bot Auth enables the ability to grant them access to the same applications a human would use.

Credentials/2FA

Identity is just one part of the equation. The next is providing agents access to existing credential stores in a secure manner. Credential management is a challenging problem because it extends beyond just a technical challenge. It touches on the very real human challenge of trust and specifically cultivating that over years.

Partnerships like this allow agents to meet users where they are, without expecting them to maintain credentials in multiple locations.

RBAC

This is a really important topic for enterprises and a critical roadmap for the adoption of agents at scale. We can already this conversation beginning within the MCP space. Actions that agents perform are not created equal.

For example, you want to ensure that when agents perform risky and/or potentially harmful actions such as executing a large transaction. That these agents have the proper level of oversight without inundating users with an exponential level of access approval prompts.

Everyone at Browserbase and 1Password has been working tirelessly to build out this integration. This represents a framework for how Agents will access sensitive credentials going forward, and we’re extremely honored to help pioneer this experience.
