For a company with one of the most important jobs in information security, assessing the risks and opportunities of AI might feel less like an analytical exercise and like a roll of a 20-sided die. That’s because a password manager, which already has to defend a customer’s most valuable credentials against both outside attackers and the customer’s own carelessness, now has to contend with AI on multiple fronts. AI can help a password-management firm develop code and find vulnerabilities faster, but it may also enable clients to ship sloppy, vibe-coded apps that expose passwords.
