1Password developer tools

1Password streamlines how you manage SSH keys, API tokens, and other infrastructure secrets – and ensures that AI agents only retrieve the credentials and secrets they are explicitly authorized to use.

A developer using 1Password on MacOS, Windows, or Linux in real time to debug, inspect elements, and code a web browser application.

Eliminate the complexity of secrets management

Access and work with secrets right where you need them – in your terminal, in your IDE, in your app, or in production – without ever exposing them in plaintext.

Develop faster

Simplify how you work with SSH keys, API tokens, and other secrets when building applications and AI agents. Easily and securely authenticate CLI and SSH connections with biometrics, sign your Git commits, and more without leaving the terminal or IDE.

Build with 1Password SDKs

Use open-source SDKs for Python, Javascript, and Go to integrate your applications with 1Password. SDKs can be embedded within your application to decrypt data when and where it’s needed, so every value stays secret until that moment.
