As remote work continues to become the norm, companies are finding it increasingly important to have a robust identity management solution. Okta, the leading identity and access management platform, has become a vital component of this infrastructure for many enterprises. With the ability to manage user authentication and authorization across multiple systems and applications, Okta has become an essential tool for businesses working remotely. 1Password now has deeper integration with Okta, making both platforms much more valuable.

1Password has become a go-to password management tool for many organizations with a robust set of features that make password management easier and more secure. With 1Password, organizations can securely store passwords, manage access and permissions for individual team members, and easily share passwords and other sensitive information. In addition, 1Password’s support for two-factor authentication (2FA) key rotation allows teams to easily manage and share these keys, further enhancing security. With an easy-to-use interface and powerful security features, 1Password has become the standard way for organizations to manage and share passwords, helping them stay secure and productive in an increasingly remote world.
What if we combine the power of 1Password and Okta?
Together, Okta and 1Password provide an even simpler and more robust security solution than SSO alone can offer. While Okta protects logins for approved apps added to Okta, 1Password protects almost everything else, including payment cards, confidential documents, developer secrets, and logins not added to Okta. The two services work together to create a comprehensive enterprise security suite with detailed administration controls, actionable insights, and extensive reporting capabilities.
When you use Unlock with Okta to access your company-wide 1Password account, you can make it easier for employees to access their accounts, increase access control and security by extending Okta’s authentication policies per 1Password account unlock, and improve auditing, compliance and generate workflow reports by monitoring 1Password login events with Okta. Integrating 1Password with your existing identity and access management (IAM) infrastructure fills in the gaps in your login security model and protects your employees no matter how they log in.
To simplify the process of connecting and disconnecting, you can use the 1Password SCIM Bridge to automate provisioning and removal and connecting 1Password to Okta.
Conclusion
The 1Password single sign-on method retains the zero-knowledge architecture and end-to-end encryption, while decryption occurs on the user’s device. The credentials used are derived from the account password and secret key, and as always, 1Password does not store or have access to the keys needed to decrypt the data. While uncompromising security is a top priority, usability is also essential. To strike a balance, 1Password finds ways to increase ease of use at the expense of security, and vice versa. SSO is no exception.
For organizations that rely on 1Password, this new integration with Okta makes deployment and management even easier.
