Secrets management across developer and agentic workflows

Discover secrets sprawl

Find unmanaged secrets across developer endpoints and in local environments. See where exposure is concentrated, identify owners, and guide remediation before exposed credentials create risk in CI/CD or production.

Secure every workflow

Keep secrets in 1Password and make them available across development and delivery. Give developers, pipelines, and AI agents the right access when they need it, without exposing credentials.

Govern and prove access

See credential activity across people and workloads, send evidence to your security tools, and connect every credential to an owner, policy, and audit trail.

Everything you need across the development lifecycle

Find and fix exposed secrets

1Password Developer Watchtower finds unmanaged credentials on your team’s devices, shows where exposure is concentrated and who owns it, and guides remediation into 1Password.

Keep secrets out of code

1Password Environments lets your team run apps without plaintext secrets on disk, injecting project secrets at runtime with biometric approval when access is needed.
