Congratulations to the 1Password Hackathon Winners!

I remember my first hackathon. I was a junior developer at a civil engineering firm in Portland. I built a learning platform for employees to learn internal policies and procedures. It was a project that moved fast because we had a deadline — and my partner and I had so much fun.

All of which is to say, this year’s 1Password Hackathon came with a heavy dose of nostalgia. Everyone obviously had a lot of fun — and I’m blown away by the ingenuity of the submissions.

Some of you submitted entries to secure daily workflows (in true 1Password fashion!). Some built fun games, including one to help us all strengthen our passwords. Others built integrations that extend passkeys to new integrations and frameworks.

In short, we saw a whirlwind of innovation, collaboration, and groundbreaking submissions.

The 1Password Hackathon prizes

Hackathon participants competed for $10,000 in prize money across five different categories:

  • Innovation Award: Goes to the most surprising and imaginative entry.
  • Most Inventive Use of the 1Password CLI: Build 1Password into your favorite integration or extend 1Password in a new way.
  • Best Use of Passage: Extend passkey integration or Passage to a new framework.
  • Most Shell Plugins Written: Write the most shell plugins to bring biometric authentication to your most-used CLIs.
  • Developer Delight: Make developers’ day-to-day lives easier.
  • People’s Choice: Garner enough community votes and be rewarded!

Announcing the winners! 🎉

Innovation Award: Mike Almeloo

The Innovation Award goes to Mike Almeloo for their enhancement of the 1Password SSH agent using the CLI. Mike’s solution creates a seamless way to manage multiple SSH keys with 1Password.

Most Inventive Use of the 1Password CLI: Zachary Cutlip

Zachary Cutlip and his mock-op project take home this award. Zachary’s contribution enables automated testing for developers building on the 1Password CLI by providing a stand-in for the op command line utility when testing isolation is needed.

Best Use of Passage: Shreyas Chaliha

We are in awe of Post iT, written by Shreyas Chaliha. Post iT enables developers to share milestones and achievements in their project workflows, with easy sign-in using passkeys via Passage.

Most Shell Plugins Written: Maniraja Vela Manoharan

This award goes to the prolific Maniraja Vela Manoharan, who wrote a whopping six shell plugins for CLIs such as Contentful, Kaggle, Todoist and more!

Developer Delight: Younes Laaroussi

The most developer delight came from Younes Laaroussi and their PHP SDK for Passage. With Younes’ project, PHP developers can secure secrets and make passkey implementation simple and easy.

People’s Choice Award: Joysankar Majumdar

Based on community votes via Twitter and likes on Hashnode, FitGo — written by Joysankar Majumdar — was the crowd favorite! FitGo is an Android application that uses Passage for authentication and Firebase to store authentication data.

Thank you!

To all those who took part in the 1Password Hackathon, thank you! To see all of the entries, browse the #BuildWith1Password tag on Hashnode. We can’t wait to see what other projects you build as you develop with 1Password Developer Tools and Passage!
