I tried following the instructions at https://www.1password.dev/cli/secrets-environment-variables. It says "use version 2.33.0-beta.02 or later" and I have 2.34.1 on Ubuntu but I get:$ op run --environment[ERROR] 2026/06/12 08:32:31 unknown flag: --environmentI tried upgrading to 2.36.0-beta.03 but that fails to login:$ ./op_v2.36.0-beta-03 vault list[ERROR] 2026/06/15 09:14:33 connecting to desktop app: read: connection reset, make sure 1Password CLI is installed correctly, then open the 1Password app, select 1Password > Settings > Developer and make sure the 'Integrate with 1Password CLI' setting is turned on.

We use 1Password heavily in build systems where we have configuration and credential files in 1Password that are pulled in by the build process.Once these text files are a few screens tall, it's bad to edit them in 1Password. You have to search to find the key you're supposed to edit, but Find in 1Password goes straight to the main Find.Therefore, we're in the crazy situation that we have to copy these files over into a text editor to edit them and then paste them back into 1Password, just to get a Find feature.This reduces our security dramatically, because there's no telling what disk caching any given text editor will do. So ironically, in our attempt to strengthen our security, we end up weakening it, all because it's impossible to properly edit long text records in 1Password.A Find feature inside the text would solve 90% of the problem.The font is absolutely massive when the text record is shown read-only in 1Password.

Today, we’re introducing a first-of-its-kind feature available in the 1Password Desktop app. With the new local .env file destination in 1Password Environments, you can securely use and share .env files across your team, without rewriting how your app loads credentials. Here’s why it matters: Zero plaintext secrets on disk: Secrets are loaded into applications on demand. You can’t accidentally commit them. No cumbersome sharing of secrets: Teammates get instant access - no DMs or copying secrets. Built for teams: Version history, access control, and automatic updates - all in one place. Offline access: No more internet connection required to load secrets from 1Password. Secrets are sourced directly from the desktop app's local cache. Now available in beta on Mac and Linux.

I was looking at the new Environments feature in preview. I think environments can only be assigned on a per-user basis. You can't assign a group to an environment.There were a couple of other things that made me think it might not be workable, like the inability to handle concurrency because it uses a FIFO. But the inability to assign groups is what stopped me from playing with it.

Hi,We're trying to adopt the new Environments feature, which is working well overall. However, we've encountered an issue with pre-commit hooks not being able to access the required environment variables.Our pre-commit hooks require environment variables to be set. While the Environments feature itself functions correctly, the pre-commit hooks fail with an error indicating that the required environment variables are not available.This is blocking us from fully adopting the feature.Is this a known issue? We haven't found a workaround yet and would appreciate any guidance.Thanks!

I have a credential I need to set in an environment (.env) for Python before running a program.This is all defined via vscode tasks. I switch between 'groups' of settings (ie multiple environment variables) by just copying a template to the .env file An example of one credential is:export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(op --cache read --account https://my.ent.1password.com/ "op://Private/Github API token/password")When my python code is run (which loads .env) I get prompted for biometrics. That's fine, except that there is no caching ie I get prompted every time.The process being run is of course different each time.Note : I initially didn't have --cache specified, and have subsequently added it after seeing it mentioned here.Any suggestions on how to cache these approvals/credentials for a short while (my intent is not to materialise the actual password in a file at any point). Do I need to write my own helper process, or is there something suitable available in the api?

I’m one of the creators of varlock. We build free and open source tools for secrets and configuration, including plugins for all the popular providers including 1Password. Since op CLI latency and repeated unlock prompts are two recurring pain points in this forum, I wanted to share something we just shipped specifically for 1Password users - and for ourselves, since we are 1Password users too!While varlock already adds validation and many other DX improvements on top of 1Password, we've now added a built-in cache that sits in front of op calls, so repeated secret loads don't keep hitting remote servers. There are already a few lightweight op cache wrappers out there, and while they help with speed, they generally give up op's session-scoped biometric unlock, and could leave plaintext secrets available in memory. We wanted the speed without sacrificing security.As an added bonus, our own “session” logic is a bit more flexible than op’s, and helps reduce spurious unlock prompts in cases

I have the 1Password desktop app installed and up to date on my macBook Pro, the `op` CLI is also installed, up to date, and working properly. All expected CLI queries work but they are surprisingly slow.After a bunch of trial and error, it seems that it is making a round-trip online as part of every single CLI query. I added the --debug flag and I can see cache hits, but the round trip online is still occurring. Disabling the network interface causes all queries to fail.Is it possible to get the 1Password CLI working fully offline to avoid all of this unnecessary round-trip business? Surely with the desktop app installed and CLI integration turned on, there has to be a way to make efficient (and offline) use of my 1Password vaults.Otherwise automation tasks that require secrets are simply too cumbersome to handle with 1Password, and I will require a secondary solution. And in that case, I may as well give up on 1Password.

I really love using the MCP service with Claude CLI on my Mac, but it bothers me that it can somewhat easily see all my Vaults.Feature RequestPlease implement in the 1password App's MCP Settings:1. Ability to toggle read access for individual vaults2. Ability to toggle write access for individual vaults Mock-upHere's what I'd like in the 1Password App settings - This would be great for easing my mind specifically not that I don't accidentally give it keys to my kingdom (like the bank)(Props @ GPT and my ability to write a simple prompt)Failed Work-Around AttemptI tried creating another family member account in my family org and just shared the Vaults that I wanted my Claude to use with that, but the desktop app won't let me sign in to multiple accounts in the same org at the same time and I'm not really sure this would have been a good enough work-around for me anyway. The feature I'm requesting above would solve this perfectly. Successful Work-Around Attempt - But sucks

As the subject notes, I've noticed 1password locks itself within about 10 seconds regardless of what I've set the auto-lock setting to. This makes copying and grabbing passwords, otp codes etc very difficult as I need to do it within 10 seconds of opening 1password.This has been happening for quite some time (6+ months at least) when I run screen shares with a remote macOS host via the screen share app using High Performance or Dynamic Resolution. The issue does not occur if I change from High Performance to standard in the macOS screen share app. High Performance is useful as it adjusts the remote display to match the display I'm using on my local machine. Which makes needing to switch back to standard -  not ideal.The remote machine display does not scale nicely if in standard screen share type mode.I was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue?Remote Mac is running MacOS 15.6.11password ver. 8.11.6 

Hi 1Password team,I’m hitting a major wall with the CLI when trying to use it with AI coding agents (like Claude Code, Cursor, or Linear Agents).Right now, op seems to assume that the person running the "op run" command is always sitting right there at a TTY with a keyboard. But when I’m running an agent in a headless container or a remote environment, the CLI just hangs because it’s waiting for a password or a biometric prompt that it can’t reach.I really don't want to use Service Accounts for this. Giving an autonomous agent a long-lived, static token feels like a massive security step backward. I want the agent to be able to "ask" me for permission.What I'm looking for: A way to do something like op login --browser. It would give me a URL/code (exactly like how aws sso login or the GitHub CLI works), I click it on my host machine, auth in my browser with TouchID, and the agent gets its session token.Are there any plans to support an OIDC-style "Device Authorization" flow?

Hi there,Noticed that the 1Password browser extension returns a non-spec-compliant response type when trying to create a credential with the WebAuthn PRF extension.I came across this while building a project using https://github.com/FiloSottile/typage#encrypt-and-decrypt-a-file-with-a-passkey.According to https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictdef-authenticationextensionsprfvalues, the `results` should be of type https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#BufferSource which is an `ArrayBuffer` or an `ArrayBufferView`. In poking around in my browser, it seems the 1Password implementation returns a plain `Array`.I've got a fix ready for that specific library (I've contacted the author to see if they'd accept a PR) but figured I'd mention it to you folks as well just in case.

Are service accounts supposed to be manageable in the GUI/desktop app? I'm running Linux, and I don't see them in my account, despite being on the subscription that has them and them being available on the website.And if not, is this a feature that is coming soon? Because it's fairly impractical to manage them through the website. I'd also add that it's annoying having to recreate the service account every time I want to change permissions on it (add a vault, remove a vault, adjust a vaults permissions, rename it, etc). I understand that you've made it this way for additional security, but I don't think it's actually buying much added security in most circumstances, and I think it should at least be opt-out.

I ran into an error today after updating the Linux client from stable to the latest beta.When I went to commit git chang.s the commit failed with this error:fatal: cannot exec '/opt/1Password/op-ssh-sign': Permission denied error: fatal: failed to write commit objectSomeone in their great wisdom broke 1Password by removing permissions.The file permissions change from working:.rwxr-xr-x@ 3.9M root root 20 Apr 22:22 󰡯 onepassword-mcp .rwxr-xr-x@ 1.5M root root 20 Apr 22:22 󰡯 op-ssh-signTo whatever something thought this is going to do:.rw-r-Sr--@ 3.8M root onepassword-mcp 14 May 04:24 󰡯 onepassword-mcp .rw-r--r--@ 1.5M root root 14 May 04:24 󰡯 op-ssh-signPlease fix the file permissions for the git signing functionality.  

The CLI access request modal could reveal more information about exactly what is being requested:Currently, I don't know if I'm granting access to my bank details or an SSH key. Ideally this modal would display the command that triggered it.

Hey team,Claude Code just release a new https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control feature that lets you send prompts and commands to your desktop (or remote sandbox) directly from a mobile app. You might already be using itI have a feeling a lot of devs are going to run into the same need for "remote 1Password auth" because of this.I really love how smooth 1Password handles secret and env management. I keep all my dev keys in 1P, and a lot of my scripts are tightly coupled with the op CLI. For pure local development, this setup is flawless.I tossed Claude Code into a local Docker sandbox for security reasons. Whenever it needed a 1Password key (like for git SSH), I just used SSH forwarding to my host machine for biometric auth. That worked fine since I was sitting right there.But this new mobile remote control feature completely breaks that workflow. I'm not at my desk to scan my fingerprint. Sure, we could generate static tokens to let the agent grab what it needs, but that’s way

Hi,The new .env management feature in 1Password is incredibly handy, and I can definitely see us adopting it for our backend services. It makes working with environment variables much more convenient.That said, I’d like to share some concerns regarding scalability. We have several services, each with multiple environments such as development, staging, production, and feature-specific environments. In 1Password Environments, these all of these environments appear side by side in a single list, regardless of which service they belong to. This results in naming schemes like "[Service]: [Environment]". While workable, this approach becomes harder to manage as we scale across multiple services.To illustrate, I’ve included a screenshot below showing what I anticipate the structure to look like in our setup. In this case, Service A and Service B have no relation to each other, yet their environments are intermingled. A way of grouping services would make this much clearer and easier to naviga

Hi,we've recently set up a 1Password Connect (OPC) instance and are testing access and integration with several applications.We noticed that though OPC logs the accessed URIs that contain vault id and item id, it does not seem to log, which access token / access token ID did the request. We neither find that information locally in the container logs nor in the 1Password web admin page nor in the forwarded logs that end up in our MS Sentinel.Did we miss something with the configuration (which we left on default settings) or is this something that the tool just does not provide?ThanksMarco

I've been using the SSH Agent in 1Password for a couple of years now, with very little trouble.  This includes lots of SSH to individual machines as well as a fair amount of ansible scripting using versions prior to 12 and run directly from Terminal.  Recently, I did a `brew upgrade` and ended up with Ansible 12. After that, it has become commonplace that ansible scripts run on my local machine and talking to nearby devices over the network result in 1passwd SSH agent prompting for every...single...command.I rolled back to ansible 10 (11 not available directly in Brew any longer) and the behavior returned to normal: prompting at the outset of my ansible script and not again until the next time I run a script.Running Ansible (as opposed to directly sshing in Terminal) has always prompted at the run, and usually for each individual destination machine, but that has been it. With the change to Ansible 12, the prompting from the SSH agent in 1password is now such that it is not u

I have multiple environments, with local destinations set up in 1Password.A/.envB/.envBoth worked fine for a while.For some reason since a couple of days, A/.env was not accessible, in the sense that any process trying to access it, simply hangs.cat A/.env #hangs indefinitelySame happens when starting docker containers that use the .env file.It does not popup the authorization dialog at all.I tried restarting the 1Pass app, quitting from the menubar icon, force quitting, etc. I've also tried disabling and enabling the destination, setting up a different destination, setting up an entirely new test environment, etc.Now, as part of the testing, I noticed something else very strange.B/.env loads up fine. In fact, when I restart 1Pass using any of the methods mentioned above, as soon as it starts, the authorization dialog shows up for the B/.envNow, I also noticed another thing very strange:cat A/.env #hangsNow, as I soon as I run "cat B/.env" from another Terminal, the previously hanging

This week I have been working with 1Password Connect. I've been writing a C# library for 1Password Connect to support niche build targets for some of our legacy code.I was disappointed to find that: The documentation both on the website and GitHub is not up to date:https://github.com/1Password/connect/issues/111The API is not properly versioned:https://github.com/1Password/connect/issues/112Is 1Password Connect still supported and planned to be in the long term?I was expecting an API service of its maturity to be well polished.

I want to store "secrets" (passwords, encryption keys) in 1Password, to be consumed, in principal, by automation. I'm creating a JSON template like this, where one secret has a non-empty value and the other is empty:{ "title": "tg-development", "category": "SECURE_NOTE", "fields": [ { "label": "FOO", "type": "CONCEALED", "value": "very-secret-value" }, { "label": "BAR", "type": "CONCEALED", "value": "" } ] }If I check the website, or the 1Password app, I see FOO but I do not see BAR.However, if I try to edit the item, then I see both fields FOO and BAR.If I try to retrieve the item:op item get tg-development --format=json --revealThen I get this (excerpt):{ "category": "SECURE_NOTE", "fields": [ { "type": "CONCEALED", "label": "FOO", "value": "very-secret-value" }, { "type": "CONCEALED", "label": "BAR" } ] }Notice the difference: the CLI returns both fields, but one of them i

Is there a way to not have the SSH prompt ask for the password/pin when I just did it on 1password app? It could only show the prompt with ok/cancel though.
