1PASSWORD SURVEY: 71% OF DEVELOPERS USE UNSECURE METHODS TO HANDLE SECRETS AND NHIS

Summary from the TLDR DevOps newsletter

As developer workflows increasingly incorporate AI agents, these unsecure practices are compounding risk. 1Password's research found that 86% of respondents report credential-related issues with NHIs. This on-demand webinar [5] shows how 1Password helps govern credentials with a four-part framework: * DISCOVER: Find developer secrets stored in plaintext on employee devices. * SECURE: Move exposed secrets into 1Password Environments. * GOVERN: Give developers, CI/CD pipelines, and AI agents only the credentials they need, with scoped access. * AUDIT: Use Developer Risk Reporting to understand exposure, what changed, what needs attention, and how credential risk is changing.
