1Password Enhances Security for Perplexity Comet AI Browser Integration
In a significant step toward secure AI-driven browsing, 1Password, a leading password management app, has partnered with Perplexity to integrate its browser extension into Comet, an innovative AI-powered web browser.
Launched a few months ago for premium Perplexity users, Comet redefines web navigation by embedding an AI assistant that can perform tasks like booking trips, ordering products, or managing accounts.
This partnership, announced on September 17, 2025, positions 1Password as Comet’s first security launch partner, ensuring users can safely harness the browser’s advanced capabilities.
The 1Password extension functions seamlessly within Comet, just as it does in traditional browsers like Chrome or Firefox. It allows users to autofill login credentials, two-factor authentication codes, credit card details, and other sensitive information while maintaining robust security.
With end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge architecture, 1Password ensures that user data remains private, even as Comet’s AI assistant processes requests.
For example, during an Amazon shopping session, the extension securely autofills login details when prompted by the AI, enabling a smooth and protected checkout process. Users can also save new logins and generate strong passwords directly within Comet, enhancing both convenience and security.
This integration is particularly significant as AI browsers like Comet require access to sensitive user data to perform autonomous tasks, raising potential privacy concerns.
1Password’s commitment to “privacy, transparency, and trust” addresses these challenges, offering users clear control over what data the AI can access.
The partnership not only bolsters user confidence but also sets a precedent for secure AI adoption in browsing.
For businesses, this collaboration supports secure workflows, as 1Password Business provides features like single sign-on and phishing-resistant authentication.
The impact is twofold: individual users gain a safer, streamlined browsing experience, while businesses benefit from enhanced security for AI-driven operations.
Existing 1Password subscribers can access the extension in Comet for free, and 1Password customers will soon receive early access to the browser, despite its premium subscription model.
This move underscores the growing importance of robust security in the era of AI-enhanced internet navigation.
