Live DemoSecure agentic development: Just-in-time secrets as the new default

As coding agents become a core piece of developer workflows, the way teams handle secrets is under pressure. Agents need to access real secrets to run code, call APIs, and interact with production-like systems. And the pace of agent requirements  is often faster than traditional security models were designed to support.

In this new reality, copying secrets into files, syncing environment variables, or maintaining long-lived secrets introduces unnecessary risk and friction. Teams need a safer, more scalable approach that keeps developers fast while preserving enterprise governance and security.

Join Kraig Strong, Sr. Engineering Manager, Developer Platform at 1Password, and Hugo Charre, Field Engineer at Cursor, as they walk through a practical framework for secure AI-powered development. You’ll see how 1Password Environments can be used alongside Cursor Hooks to enable just-in-time secrets, runtime injection, and least-privilege access only at execution time without slowing teams down.

What you’ll learn:

• Why just-in-time secrets are becoming the safest default for AI-powered development.

• Why runtime injection is safer than local secret management.

• How teams demonstrate least privilege using read-only access and per-environment targeting.

• How developer speed and enterprise governance can operate as the same workflow, not a tradeoff.
