Passwordless unlock – Because 1Password for Linux uses the same authentication mechanisms and APIs provided to all user applications, you can unlock 1Password with your Linux user account, fingerprint sensors, or any other authentication mechanism supported by PAM.

This is the most advanced browser integration for a password manager available in Linux. That means that if you unlock one, the other will also be unlocked when you switch to it.

“While 1Password can be utilized by anyone, business or individual, we have seen a real need for robust Linux support – outside of just the browser – in DevOps and IT teams in larger organizations. 1Password for Linux alleviates this challenge by delivering the same ease-of-use and high levels of security that 1Password users have become accustomed to.

At the same time, Linux administrators and DevOps teams are also trying to keep pace with organizational demands to rapidly develop, install and configure applications. Linux joins a roster of operating systems that are integrated with 1Password, and also allows seamless management of infrastructure secrets through the recently released Secrets Automation product – a new way to easily secure, manage and orchestrate the rapidly expanding infrastructure secrets required in a modern enterprise.Īccording to research, the global Linux operating system market size is expected to increase from $3.89 billion in 2019 to $15.6 billion in 2027 – many of those users are in IT or DevOps roles managing secrets and passwords. 1Password has launched a full-featured desktop app for Linux, providing users with the ability to secure credentials across devices from the same 1Password app.
