## AI overview

1Password and Perplexity are expanding a partnership to integrate secure credential access with Perplexity Computer, enabling AI agents to carry out multi-step enterprise workflows without exposing credentials to the model.

## Source excerpt

AI has gotten very good at generating answers. The bigger opportunity now is helping people take action. That shift is already underway, and AI is moving from chat into real workflows: researching, navigating applications, and completing multi-step processes across systems. But the moment AI moves from answering questions to getting things done, one problem becomes impossible to ignore: secure access. Secure access, in this context, means ensuring the right human or AI agent can reach the right application or credential at the exact moment an action is taken without exposing sensitive data or stopping the workflow to ask someone to log in manually. Every meaningful agentic workflow depends on this, but most existing access protocols weren't designed for it. That's why we're expanding our partnership with Perplexity, by making 1Password's secure access capabilities seamlessly integrate with Perplexity Computer. AI agents are a new kind of actor in enterprise systems Perplexity is building an orchestration platform that coordinates models, tools, and connectors to automate complex work. As Perplexity Computer operates across enterprise environments, access stops being a convenience question and becomes a trust question. Consider what this looks like in practice: It's mid-March at a twelve-person CPA firm, and twenty new clients have dropped off boxes of files. In past years, the junior staff would spend ten days logging into Chase, Fidelity, Coinbase, and a dozen other portals one client at a time. This year, the senior CPA hands the intake list to Perplexity Computer. The agent asks 1Password for each credential, pulls the 1099s, logs into the IRS practitioner portal, files the extensions, and drops everything into UltraTax. The credentials never touch the model; the CPA spends her fourteen hours reviewing returns instead of typing them, and the firm takes on six more clients than last year because the bottleneck moved. That's what Perplexity Computer does. And 1Pass
