Brave adds email aliases to browser
Brave has added built-in email alias support to its browser, letting logged-in users generate aliases to sign up for websites without exposing their primary email address. Users must create a Brave account and provide a real email; aliases are auto-filled into web forms and forwarded to the primary account. Brave says it does not read email contents (only scanning for spam/viruses), deletes forwarded mail from its servers after forwarding, encrypts account data at rest, and stores alias notes locally unless sync is enabled (which uses end-to-end encryption). Brave currently offers five free aliases per user, with more available to Premium subscribers later. The company warns some forwarded mail may initially land in spam while it builds mail-provider reputation.

1Password Launches AI Agent Login Without Password Exposure
Password manager 1Password has launched 1Password for Agents, a new platform enabling users to let AI agents log into their personal accounts on their behalf without ever exposing their credentials. The system establishes a communication channel between the agent, the user, and 1Password. When an agent attempts login, a unique digital key is sent to 1Password for identity confirmation, the user receives an alert and approves the request, and 1Password completes the authentication by filling in credentials on the agent's behalf. Supported agents include Anthropic's Claude Duet, OpenAI's Dots, ChatGPT Work, Grok Bot, Meta's Muse, and agents from startup Town. The launch coincides with U.S. banks detecting agentic activity in user accounts, highlighting the need for secure authentication mechanisms.
