This setup enables Agentic Autofill, a Nightly feature that allows AI agents like Director to securely request and use credentials from your 1Password vault.

​
Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
This guide uses 1Password Nightly, a pre-release channel with experimental features. It’s recommended for testing and development only.

​
Admin Setup (One-Time)

You need admin access to your 1Password account to enable Agentic Autofill policies.
This is a one-time setup per 1Password account/workspace. Once enabled, all members can use Agentic Autofill.

​
Enable Agentic Autofill

Sign in to 1Password.com and go to Policies in the left sidebar:
Click Sharing and permissions then Manage policies:
Access Sharing and permissions policies
Scroll to the bottom and enable Agentic permissions to turn on Agentic Autofill:
Enable Agentic permissions in 1Password policies
Important: Scroll to the very bottom and click Save.

​
User Setup

​
1. Install 1Password Desktop App

Download and install the latest 1Password desktop application. Visit the 1Password download page and download the latest version. If you have 1Password installed via Kandji or another management system:
  1. Open Finder
  2. Navigate to Applications
  3. Right-click 1Password and choose Move to Trash
If 1Password is still running in the macOS menu bar after closing, right-click the menu bar icon and select Quit.
Then install the new version:
  1. In your Downloads folder, locate 1Password.zip
  2. Double-click to unzip and reveal “1Password Installer”
  3. Open the installer and follow the prompts

​
2. Switch to the Nightly Channel

When 1Password opens, your existing Browserbase account should appear automatically. In the upper-left of the app, click your account name and then click Settings at the bottom of the menu. Find the Release channel dropdown and change it to Nightly:
1Password settings showing release channel option
Click Check for updates in the About section:
Check for updates in 1Password About section
Download and restart when prompted:
Download 1Password Nightly update
1Password Nightly successfully installed
If the app still shows the stable channel after restarting, re-open Settings and confirm Nightly is selected, then check for updates again.

​
3. Add Login Credentials for Testing

Let’s add test credentials for saucedemo.com as an example. Click the + New Item button in the upper-right and choose Login:
Create new login item in 1Password
Enter the following details:
  • Username: standard_user
  • Password: secret_sauce
  • Website: saucedemo.com
Fill in login credentials
Click Save:
Save the login item
You can add any website credentials you want to use with Director. This example uses saucedemo.com for testing.

​
4. Install 1Password Nightly Browser Extension

Visit the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome to install the 1Password Nightly extension. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

​
5. Connect Director with 1Password

Go to Director.ai and sign in with your Browserbase account in the upper-right:
Director AI homepage
Click “Connect with 1Password”:
Click the Conect with 1Password button
Follow the prompt to Login with 1Password. You should return to director.ai with the integration enabled:
1Password integration enabled in Director

​
6. Try it Out

In the Director prompt, type: 
Navigate to saucedemo.com and login with 1Password
Wait for Director to navigate to the site (~10 seconds). Director will click Login with 1Password:
Director navigates to saucedemo.com
You should see a credential selection prompt:
1Password autofill prompt in Director
Select your saucedemo.com credentials from the prompt. Director will automatically fill in the username and password, and the login should complete successfully:
Successfully logged in with 1Password

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify you installed the 1Password Nightly extension (not the stable version)
  • Ensure the extension is enabled in Chrome at chrome://extensions
  • Confirm you’re signed in to Director with your Browserbase account
  • Refresh the Director page and try enabling the integration again
1Password Nightly successfully installed
  • Verify the login item exists in your 1Password vault
  • Ensure the website field matches the site you’re trying to access
  • Check that Agentic permissions are enabled in your account policies
  • Re-open 1Password Settings
  • Confirm Nightly is selected in the Release channel dropdown
  • Manually check for updates again
