"Recent innovations suggest that AI will soon be at the heart of web browsing, guiding users directly to information rather than forcing them to scroll through pages and links. When that becomes reality, so-called AI-native browsers - Comet, Arc, Dia, Andi, and others - will be able to handle tasks that traditional browsers were never designed for, such as accessing sensitive data on their own, and potentially making decisions without explicit instructions."
"The new Comet-compatible browser extension is free to all 1Password customers, who can log into sites on Comet via usernames, passwords, and 2FA codes, autofill credentials, and can securely use saved credentials across devices, browsers, and operating systems. The idea is "privacy-first browsing," where users maintain control over not only what AI can access, but when and why, according to 1Password. The extension generates and saves strong, unique passwords and passkeys, and provides end-to-end encryption and a zero-knowledge architecture."
""A browser with AI-powered capabilities can provide organizations with real value when it comes to credential management, without compromising the browser experience," said Ahmad Jowhar, a research analyst at Info-Tech Research Group."
AI-native browsers can guide users directly to information and perform autonomous tasks, creating novel security and privacy risks. Browsers may need to access credentials and personal data on behalf of users, requiring stronger identity controls. 1Password partnered with Perplexity to deliver a Comet-compatible extension that provides credential management, secure autofill, two-factor authentication, passkeys, end-to-end encryption, and a zero-knowledge architecture. The extension is free for 1Password customers and supports secure credential use across devices, browsers, and operating systems. The design emphasizes privacy-first controls that let users decide when and why AI can access information.
