1Password Launches Anti-Phishing Warnings for Pasted Passwords

Popular password management app 1Password today announced the launch of a new phishing protection feature that's meant to "act as a second pair of eyes" before users provide their passwords to scammers.


1Password will not autofill a username and password on a website that is spoofing another as one layer of protection, but users can get around that by manually retrieving their usernames and passwords.

To add further protection, when a user attempts to paste their username and password into a website, the 1Password browser extension will display a pop-up warning that prompts them to pause and use caution before continuing. 1Password hopes that the warning will cause users to take a second, more careful look at the website before proceeding.

The phishing protection feature will be turned on by default for individual and family plan users, while 1Password Admins can turn it on for employees. The protection is rolling out starting today.

Pricing for 1Password starts at $2.99 per month for an individual user.

Should be using passkeys, no passwords. Ideally with a pair of Yubikey or similar.
Only a few of the websites I use lets me use passkeys.
Passwords aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

I’ve been using 1Password since their beginning and have stayed with it ever since. I’ve had no regrets, as it’s been solid, reliable, and does exactly what I need. Passkeys, however, have been somewhat incompatible for me, largely because I use multiple operating systems. The phishing feature isn’t really new either; it is just a different spin on their existing validation scheme. 🤷‍♂️

Oooh, cool, Bitwarden had this for years. And it's free. And it even has a self-hosted option.

I really don't understand why people keep hyping up 1Password and Lastpass. Bitwarden gives you all the essentials for free that the others charge for.
Having used both, the UI and ease of use are worlds better with 1Password.

I stopped using 1Password when they switched to subscription-only. There is value in the app (and I'd gladly pay for it) but nothing whatsoever in a monthly payment. Enpass has been great ever since and I still have all the features, including syncing via several options (iCloud, wifi-only, etc.)

Apple does support passkeys.

Why doesn’t Apple support passkeys with its websites?
I'm not sure about every single Apple website, but Apple certainly does support passkey for your Apple ID. I use a Passkey to secure my primary Apple, Google, Microsoft accounts. Others when I can too.

Yeah it's not everywhere, and it's not perfect, but it's better than passwords for phishing resistance.
