Case Study: Airwallex achieves a passwordless workplace with 1Password

How Airwallex is using 1Password to eliminate all passwords at work

Airwallex is a fast-growing global fintech that supports businesses with payments, banking, and treasury services. With 1,300+ employees across 19 offices and a goal to become passwordless, the company faced fragmented credential management: many accounts weren’t covered by SSO, developers stored secrets in ad hoc ways, and teams relied on shared logins that needed secure, auditable access and simpler onboarding.

Airwallex deployed 1Password Business integrated with Okta (Unlock with Okta), added biometric policies for in-office access, created shared vaults, and adopted 1Password’s SSH Agent and Secrets Automation. The result: employees no longer need separate 1Password passwords, passwords have been reduced, developer and infrastructure secrets are secured and automated, onboarding for shared credentials is streamlined, and the company now has strong auditability and a clear path to full passkey-based passwordless sign‑in.
