1Password Extended Access Management

1Password Extended Access Management (XAM) is an identity and device security platform engineered to secure access for all work applications—including sanctioned corporate cloud apps, shadow IT tools, and desktop applications—across every corporate and personal device used by employees. By bridging the gap between traditional identity providers (IdPs) and unmanaged applications, 1Password XAM delivers total access governance.

The solution unifies enterprise password management, device posture verification (via Kolide), and credential protection into a single user-centric client application. Key technical capabilities encompass securing access to applications that do not support SAML/SSO (such as legacy tools, developer portals, and unvetted SaaS apps), verifying device health and compliance before granting application access, universal autofill of credentials and passkeys, automated employee remediation coaching, and centralized visibility into shadow IT usage. When an employee signs into an unmanaged SaaS tool, 1Password captures and secures the credential automatically.

Enterprises, fast-growing technology companies, and distributed hybrid workforces deploy 1Password Extended Access Management to close security blind spots left open by traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. It integrates smoothly with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace. Common operational use cases include securing developer access to command-line interfaces and cloud consoles, preventing unmanaged personal devices from accessing sensitive company portals, eliminating shadow IT credential risks, and enforcing continuous compliance across all enterprise work activities.
