Hi,
Searching on the internet I found https://1password.community/discussion/129567/using-universal-autofill-in-terminal that already explains my needs, however I have not found any updates.

Is there any news?

Hello @fantinialex! 👋

Thank you for reaching out and for the linking to the old thread. 1Password currently doesn't support sudo on remote hosts over SSH because of limitations in Universal Autofill. I've let the team know that you'd like to see this improved in the future.

For the time being, you can use Quick Access to quickly copy your Mac user login password so that you can paste it into Terminal. Open Quick Access and then press Shift-Command-C to copy the highlighted item's password: Get to know Quick Access

I hope that helps. 🙂

-Dave
