Perplexity announced a partnership with 1Password, a trusted leader in extended access management. This collaboration integrates 1Password directly into Comet, ensuring users can power their full curiosity with personal security.
Before even launching to full global access, Comet has already become one of the most popular AI browsers in the world. Comet users explain that Comet is much more than a browser: Comet is a powerful AI assistant.
Building a personal AI assistant comes with new security challenges, because a truly personal assistant also needs personal information to do great work.
Security that keeps up with AI
Comet is a personal AI assistant that goes where you go on the internet. It learns with you, handles tasks on your behalf, and becomes smarter over time. But as Comet takes more actions on your behalf, from booking reservations to managing accounts, your credentials need protection that’s just as intelligent.
By combining Comet’s ability to reason, anticipate, and automate tasks with 1Password’s privacy-first security model, users stay protected as they adopt these new methods for working and learning online.
“For Perplexity, building security into Comet was a priority from the beginning,” said Kyle Polley, security staff at Perplexity. “1Password is a natural partner to provide the best credential security that users love.
“1Password is committed to keeping your secrets secure” said Anand Srinivas, VP of Product and AI at 1Password. “We’re excited to bring our trusted access management to the new Comet browser.”
Effortless security for effortless browsing
The 1Password browser extension comes built into Comet, delivering protection without interrupting your flow:
Keep your secrets a secret. Passwords and passkeys are encrypted by default, even as Comet takes action on your behalf.
Authentication that moves at your pace. Log into any account instantly without breaking your flow.
Transparency across all your actions. See how and when your credentials are being used no matter where you go.
Security that goes with you. Credentials sync seamlessly across browsers, devices, and operating systems.
Privacy by design
Comet stores your browsing data locally on your device, and 1Password adds another layer of credential protection with end-to-end encryption. When Comet needs personal context to assist you, your data stays secure and never reaches Perplexity servers.
Together, they create a browsing experience where security works as intelligently as your AI assistant. Experience secure, intelligent browsing where your AI assistant and your security work together seamlessly.
