Random but Memorable: Recent Episodes

1Password

Lighthearted security advice and banter from 1Password and guests.

Always-on access might sound convenient, but it can quietly become a serious security risk. 🔐⚠️ In this bonus episode of Random but Memorable, we’re joined by Rom Carmel, VP of Product Management at 1Password, to introduce 1Password Privileged Access.

Rom breaks down what privileged access management actually means, and why permanent permissions can leave companies exposed. He also explains how “just-in-time” and “just enough” access can protect teams and their most critical systems, without slowing everyone down.

We also explore what happens when AI agents start needing access too, and why securing humans, machines, and agents is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges for modern organizations. 👩‍💻

Anyone can build software with AI now, and millions of people are giving it a try. But when AI can spin up an app in minutes, are security risks slipping through the cracks? 👀💻 In our season finale of Random but Memorable, we dive into the promise and pitfalls of building software with AI.

First, in Crash Course, Roo breaks down what vibe coding actually means, why it’s suddenly taken off, and how people are using AI tools to build apps, websites, games, and workflows. Then, in Watchtower Weekly, we look at the security risks, including exposed data and leaked API keys, and why AI-built apps still need real software guardrails.📲

Later, Wade sits down with Jeff Malnick, 1Password’s VP of Engineering for Developer & AI, to discuss how to start vibe coding without creating a cybersecurity risk. From code review and developer best practices to the future of AI-assisted software development, this conversation is packed with practical advice for anyone experimenting with AI and code.🤖👨‍💻

Supply chains, server crashes, and building break-ins. Our latest episode is a reminder that cybersecurity doesn’t stop at the screen. 🏢🔐

We sit down with Deviant Ollam, physical security expert and pentester, as he lifts the lid on the physical “IRL” side of security. From bypassing door locks and badge systems to testing data center defenses, Deviant shares what attackers are looking for, and why the physical layer can be the weakest link. 🚪🔑

But that’s not all! In Watchtower Weekly, we unpack how supply chain attacks are evolving into a self-reinforcing cybercrime economy — where one breach fuels the next, creating an endless loop of access, data, and profit for attackers. ⭕️💻

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ We’re kicking off 2026 with cybersecurity resolutions you’ll actually stick to — no cold plunges, no green juice cleanse, just a handful of tiny ten-minute wins that make a big difference to your privacy and security.

On this episode, you’ll learn the importance of freezing your credit, using passkeys, turning on MFA, tidying up your digital “junk drawer” (and moving the important stuff into 1Password), and adopting a “politely paranoid” protocol that helps you catch scams before they catch you. ✅🔐

Love a hot take? 🔥 You’re in luck! We’re back with a special end-of-year treat: a rapid-fire round of cybersecurity hot takes guaranteed to start arguments in your group chats and hijack at least one Slack thread. 💬

The team weighs in on bold claims like “Passwords will finally die in 2026” and “AI will solve more cybersecurity problems than it causes next year.” Then we spice things up with hot takes from around 1Password — covering everything from CAPTCHAs (a punishment?) to VPNs (are they even doing anything?) to whether New Year’s security resolutions ever last past January. 🤔✨

We also tackle a listener question in #Ask1Password. Plus, it wouldn’t be a holiday episode without a bit of nonsense, so we’ve revived an old fan-favourite game from the Random but Memorable vault. 🌍❓
