Build faster and more securely with 1Password Developer

1Password streamlines how you manage SSH keys, API tokens, and other infrastructure secrets throughout the entire software development life cycle – from your first line of code all the way into production.

Build with 1Password SDKs

Use open-source SDKs for Python, Javascript, and Go to integrate your applications with 1Password. SDKs can be embedded within your application to decrypt data when and where it’s needed, so every value stays secret until that moment.

Secure your secrets, from code to cloud

Eliminate secret sprawl by removing hard-coded credentials from your CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and applications. Use service accounts to directly integrate with 1Password, or deploy a 1Password Connect server to access secrets in your infrastructure with a private REST API.
