So, are the rumors nothing more than Silicon Valley gossip? Or are Apple and 1Password just playing this acquisition close to the chest? What Is 1Password?ġPassword is one the more popular and best quality password managers on the market today. My humans and I are happily independent and plan to remain so.īut doth the bot protest too much? Despite the Twitter cold water, this kind of Apple investment in 1Password, and therefore AngelBits, demonstrates a clear interest in the underlying software. Rumours of my acquisition are completely false. An unnamed source informed BGR that the two companies have been working out an arrangement for months to boost security for Apple employees – not only in Cupertino, but also in Apple retail stores.Īpple is even rumored to be providing family plans for employees, allowing up to five family members of each employee access to a free 1Password account. However, according to 1Password's own (semi-sentient?) Twitter handle, any acquisition rumors are decidedly overblown. And now, one of the biggest tech companies in the world has taken a big step in making security a serious priority.Īccording to an exclusive report from BGR, the partnership between Apple and AngelBits is far from coincidental. From worldwide data breaches to targeted phishing scams, large companies and concerned individuals alike have begun taking measures to protect their personal information. Online security has become a huge concern around the world. And now, everyone is asking the same question: is an Apple acquisition of AgileBits, the developers of 1Password, on the horizon?

In a move that's creating a lot of speculation, Apple has decided to deploy 1Password to every single one of its 123,000 employees.
