This is awesome. Hand your @bot the 🔐
Today we announce 1Password for Agents platform, building with companies @Muse, SpaceX Super Intelligence Grok @Bot, @AnthropicAI’s @Claudeai, @OpenAI, @TownAI, @Browserbase, @Browser_use, @heydana_ai, Instinct, @usekernel, @Perplexity_ai, @tryramp, @Tomo, and @wajo_ai, with more integrations on the way. 🎉
We've heard from so many of our customers who want to use these new personal AI agents to help them get more done, but want more control over what the agent can access with the same trust and ease of use they get when using 1Password directly.
1Password for Agents gives your agents access without giving up your passwords. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it requests a credential from your vault. If you approve the request, 1Password directly auto-fills the credential in the destination site so the agent can’t see or take possession of the credentials.
The agent gets the task done, but it doesn’t get your passwords..
You stay in control. 1Password for Agents free and optional for personal and family accounts. Unless you opt-in to an agent connector, agents cannot touch your vault.

The Shopify phishing hack is real, and it’s still happening.
One of our merchants got hit TODAY.
The concerning part? The app responsible wasn’t even on the lists circulating: Amai PreOrder Manager.
Other apps reported: • Hulk Product Options • Swym Wishlist Plus • Selleasy • Hextom • Qikify • 17TRACK • Boost AI Search & Filter • Privy • Consentmo
Still no clear picture of how widespread this is.
Anyone else seeing this with apps that haven’t been reported yet?

Announcement at Killiney DART station “trains running up to 20 minutes late due to animals on the line at Harmonstown.”
Without missing a beat, two male professional photographers standing beside me: “that’s not a nice way to talk about Northsiders” 🤣🤣

Is AI visibility a waste of time?
Three new studies out this week suggest that very well might be the case. New #5minutewhiteboard 👇

The PHP project has released fixes for 2 critical vulnerabilities affecting servers that host PHP applications. Site owners and technical teams should confirm their hosting provider’s update plan and update PHP immediately. Versions before PHP 8.2 no longer receive security updates. These issues are not specific to WordPress, and no WordPress update is required. wp.me/pZhYe-5Gb

Shopify apps are being delisted left and right for months now, but seems like people are only just noticing that now.
Often many reputable apps too.
But most are back in a week or two.
Seems it’s happening due to various violations that are simply being promptly resolved.

Multiple banks (Lloyds, Revolut, Bank of Scotland and HSBC) are down for some users.
This looks like a Google Cloud issue.
Importantly, your money in Revolut will be safe - this clearly isn't a hack on them and the issue lies with a third party.

Sorry @elonmusk
.@willob of @ulyssesinc joins @sacca and me for a pint to discuss how subsea robotics is unlocking Earth’s last frontier. We talk about the physical constraints of operating 1,500 meters underwater, why seagrass holds 20% of the ocean’s carbon, how green tape hinders environmental restoration, and why hard tech startups are verticalising hardware manufacturing. (Plus, Will's interesting Guinness history facts.)

To be fair to City, you can't expect a club that hasn't won a trophy in 51 years to compete with the defending European Champions.

Watch this video.
Well done @kenearlys
Israel is a sham nation with maniacs and liars at every level.
They lie continuously.
The terrifying part is that they are armed to the teeth by the West and when you question them are called antisemitic.

Robert De Niro: “This is the country’s most important election ever and you have the power to change things. Power to the people. Use that power, don’t wait, show up and vote. First, check your registration, go to headcount.org, make your plan and know the rules and deadlines in the state so you can avoid any last minute problems at the polls. If they send those ICE goons to the polls to scare you, mumble every four letter word your mother told you never to say and keep walking to hand in your ballot. Don’t be afraid of those people”
