AWS and 1Password: Innovation in AI and beyond

December 2, 2025 - 5 min
This year has been one of the most transformative in our collaboration with AWS. As organizations move faster toward AI-driven development and cloud-native architectures, secure access has become a foundational requirement, not an afterthought.
In just a few years, we’ve gone from experimenting with GPTs to deploying action-oriented AI agents that read, write, execute, and automate workflows across production systems. These developments unlock new levels of productivity, but they also introduce new access and security challenges.
That’s why AWS and 1Password have deepened their collaboration to help customers adopt AI tools safely and still capture the benefits it offers. Together, we’re making it easier for developers to authenticate, build, and operate agents securely, and using AI to streamline the login experience itself.
What began as a collaboration has evolved into real momentum and a shared vision for the future of secure identity and automation in cloud-native environments.
Delivering deeper integrations for developers and security teams
This year also brought integrations that strengthen how teams manage access and secrets across AWS-native workflows.
Amazon Nova Act launch partner
Today, we’re excited to share the latest milestone in that journey: 1Password is a launch partner for Amazon Nova Act, an end-to-end service for building and managing highly reliable AI agents at scale. Amazon Nova Act represents a major step forward for secure, autonomous workflows, and 1Password is using it to simplify everyday tasks like logging in to web apps, helping users and organizations securely access the tools they rely on while reducing manual steps and potential risks.
MCP Server for Trelica by 1Password
The MCP Server for Trelica by 1Password brings secure SaaS discovery and access visibility directly into AWS workflows. It integrates with the Trelica API to give IT and security teams insight into SaaS usage, user access, and application activity without leaving their AWS-native environment. The MCP Server for Trelica by 1Password is available on AWS Marketplace and helps customers discover and manage SaaS risk with zero additional cost for Trelica users.
AWS Secrets Sync
AWS Secrets Sync allows IT administrators, security teams, and developers to synchronize secrets stored in 1Password directly into AWS Secrets Manager. This provides a single, consistent source of truth for credentials while enabling applications on AWS to use secrets through native AWS mechanisms.
The integration is built on 1Password’s confidential computing model. Secrets remain end-to-end encrypted within the 1Password vault and are decrypted only within the customer’s trusted execution environment. This ensures that the sync path maintains the same security guarantees customers rely on when managing sensitive information in 1Password.
For customers building AI systems or cloud-native applications on AWS, this reduces operational overhead. Instead of maintaining multiple secret stores or manually handling credential updates, teams can manage secrets centrally in 1Password and rely on AWS Secrets Manager for downstream distribution, rotation, and runtime access. The result is a simpler workflow and fewer opportunities for configuration drift or inconsistent secret handling.
This release also marks an important step for 1Password’s developer product strategy. It establishes a clear mechanism for connecting human-managed secrets in 1Password with machine workloads on AWS, supporting more secure development and deployment patterns across both environments.
Confidential computing with AWS Nitro Enclaves
Security is about protecting data and proving trust. 1Password uses AWS Nitro Enclaves for confidential computing, which enables us to bring our end-to-end encryption model to the cloud.
As Jacob DePriest, CISO and CIO at 1Password, said in our collaboration with AWS Nitro Enclaves:
At 1Password, everything starts with end-to-end encryption. Your secrets are protected before they ever leave your device. With AWS Nitro Enclaves, we extend that end-to-end encryption model into the cloud, securely processing sensitive data in isolated, attested environments. These capabilities aren't just security features; they’re trust enablers, allowing us to build enterprise-grade functionality while cryptographically proving that no one can access customer data during processing.”
Strengthening our collaboration with AWS
This year also marked a major milestone: 1Password signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with AWS, creating a multi-year commitment to co-innovation and global growth across both organizations.
The SCA formalizes years of close collaboration with 1Password as a key partner in securing cloud-native and AI-powered applications, and represents our long-term investment in the AWS ecosystem and in every organization that is building on AWS.
AWS Marketplace & Express Private Offers
Customers want simple, fast ways to add modern identity security to their cloud environment, so we worked closely with AWS to streamline adoption. 1Password is among the first security companies to participate in AWS Marketplace Express Private Offers, transforming how customers buy software on AWS. This new capability uses automation and AI to create instant, personalized pricing for customers, turning a process that once took weeks into minutes.
By simplifying procurement and expanding access, we’re helping organizations scale securely and easily with AWS.
Recognized as a leading AWS partner
That momentum has translated into measurable impact across the AWS ecosystem. 1Password has also been named the winner of the 2025 Canada Rising Star Technology Partner of the Year Award. AWS awards recognize leaders around the globe who are playing key roles in helping customers drive innovation and build solutions on AWS. As a Rising Star Partner of the Year, 1Password is being recognized for significant year-over-year growth in the technology business. Learn more in the recent press release.
Moving forward
This year showed what’s possible when AWS and 1Password innovate together. Our collaboration with AWS reflects what makes 1Password different: we don’t just secure credentials, we secure how people and AI interact with them. From Marketplace acceleration to deeper developer tooling to confidential computing, every milestone builds toward a more secure, intelligent future where IT teams and enterprises embrace AI and automation with confidence.
This year set the pace, and we’re just getting started.
