Hi everyone,I work primarily as a software engineer, and on a daily basis I deal with a large number of passwords, secrets, and other sensitive credentials. I've noticed that 1Password is missing a feature that I believe would be extremely useful.For example, when I store database connection details as separate fields—such as the server address, database name, username, password, and so on—I often need to build a connection string from those values.What I'd love to see is the ability to create a computed or templated field that references existing fields instead of duplicating their values. For example, the connection string could reference the existing username and password fields rather than containing copies of them.This way, if the database password changes, I would only need to update it in one place. The connection string would update automatically, similar to how formulas work in Excel.I think this would make secret management much more maintainable, reduce duplication, and help

It seems a very recent 1P CLI update broke the official GitHub action ` 1password/install-cli-action@8d006a0d0a4fd505af7f7ce589e7f768385ff5e4` when we don’t pin an explicit version of 1P (i.e. use “latest”). Here is the error message: Run 1password/install-cli-action@8d006a0d0a4fd505af7f7ce589e7f768385ff5e4Validating version number: 'latest'Version number 'latest' is validResolving version: latestGetting latest version numbererror: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON inputError: Unexpected end of JSON inputat JSON.parse (<anonymous>)at parseJSONFromBytes (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4337:19)at successSteps (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:6985:27)at readAllBytes (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:5908:13)at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:104:5)

Hi! I'm a long-time fan of the SSH agent — keys in 1Password with a biometric prompt is genuinely the best setup I've used. But the background-prompt suppression change has broken it for me, and I'm hoping there's room for an opt-out.What I'm seeingAfter the update, signing stopped working from my terminal tooling. ssh-add -l still lists my keys, but:$ ssh-add -T prod-key.pubAgent signature failed for prod-key.pub: communication with agent failedThe logs show the prompt being raised and then quietly timing out:07:16:42 Notifying user through tray icon that they have a background prompt waiting07:17:42 ssh authorization prompt timed out07:18:27 Notifying user through tray icon that they have a background prompt waiting07:19:27 ssh authorization prompt timed outSo the agent is working exactly as documented — the request just never reaches me.Why the prompt matters to meI use an AI coding assistant that has shell access to my repos, and some of my SSH hosts are production servers ( [remov

The MCP server docs has two named tabs: Codex and Kiro. Everything else — including Claude Code or Claude Desktop — is "Other." I am trying to understand if the MCP feature is only for desktop applications or if it can be used with applications that run in the terminal.The 1Password desktop app is the MCP server.Codex, Kiro, Opencode, Claude Desktop and Claude Code are MCP clients (aka coding agents, or what some developers call harnesses) the wrapper of tools, permissions, and memory around the model.Do MCP Clients need to be part of the trusted access layer? Is that what  the OpenAI announcement is about?Market reality (source): Claude Code holds the highest published SWE-bench Verified score (88.6%) and is rated the deepest programmable harness in the field.OpenCode: 171K GitHub stars, 1.68M weekly downloads.

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 

I have a valid SSH key in my vault, which is authorised with my server. If I export this key and use it directly with ssh -i [removed by moderator] then it works.Following these instructions (https://www.1password.dev/ssh/bookmarks#in-an-ssh-key-item), I added a new field to the key with the hostname in the form ssh:// [removed by moderator] . This causes the Connect button to appear when I mouse over the key. However if I click the Connect button, it opens a terminal and immediately prompts me for a password. It should be using the SSH key I tried to connect with.Is there any config required ( `~/.ssh/config` or `~/.config/1Password/ssh/agent.toml`) to get this to work? I had hoped that 1Password would have all the information it needs just from the SSH item in the vault such that no more configuration is needed. It has the hostname, username and key.

Hi 1Password team Could you add Ghostty support to Universal Autofill for terminal password prompts on macOS? Today Universal Autofill works for Terminal.app and iTerm2, but not Ghostty. 1Password’s docs say terminal autofill uses macOS Automation and accesses the active terminal session TTY to identify password fields. Ghostty has added the missing pieces on its side:Ghostty 1.3 added AppleScript automation: https://ghostty.org/docs/features/applescript Ghostty PR #11922 adds `pid` and `tty` to the AppleScript terminal class, targeted for Ghostty 1.4.0: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/11922 Ghostty’s bundle identifier is `com.mitchellh.ghostty`.Once Ghostty 1.4.0 ships, the active terminal should be addressable like this:tell application "Ghostty" set term to focused terminal of selected tab of front window get tty of term input text "..." to termend tellGhostty’s injection command is `input text`, while Terminal.app and iTerm2 expose different AppleScript commands, so

I’d love to see something like mcp-remote, but built into 1Password and designed around 1Password’s security model.The use case is HTTP-based MCP servers that require credentials but don’t support OAuth, for example servers that need an Authorization header with a PAT, API key, or Basic token.I am using Codex, and today, the common workaround is to either hardcode secrets into MCP config (not good), or start Codex with op run --environment <environment-id> -- /Applications/Codex.app/Contents/MacOS/Codex  but that will expose the env variables to the whole Codex process. The latter approach is workable, but not great.What I’m hoping for is a local 1Password-managed MCP transport proxy:MCP client (Codex, Claude) connects locally to 1Password/proxy over stdio 1Password connects to the configured remote HTTP MCP server 1Password injects auth headers/tokens from environment into outbound HTTP requests secrets are never returned to the MCP client or exposed to the agent every credentia

in a script I have the following:op item create --category ssh --title "$CONFIG_HOSTNAME" --ssh-generate-key ed25519 --url "ssh://$CONFIG_USER@$CONFIG_HOSTNAME"super cool right? its creating ssh keys and auto adding the url so they will show up in my team's ssh agents! unfortunately the url field is blocked for the ssh category:[ERROR] 2025/12/15 12:31:34 You can only set URL fields for Login, Password, and API Credential items.P.S. It would be super cool if there was a GitHub project for `op` bugs

Very long time user (nearly two decades!), first time toe-stubber (OK not exactly first time, but first time where I can’t figure out any fixes myself!)  --  Tried to use the beta MCP from inside of a Linux homebrew installed claude-code today and I get either parent process verification failed: Binary Permissions (directly running /opt/1Password/onepassword-mcp) or ...Io(Kind(PermissionDenied)) if I try to wrap with op run -- with no popup/prompt to allow in either case.  I’ll note my environment is complicated versus many users “norm” since I’m actually running a remote X session for the UI, however the SSH agent socket works, and the op CLI in the general case works, as does using op run to wrapper expanding env vars. Yes Labs->enable MCP is on, and Developer->MCP server is on.  In trying to debug/resolve I also turned on the CLI integration and 1P SDK integration (both of which I usually have off so that when I’m totally headless/X session free op signin still works). Actual

Our company is currently evaluating 1Password's ability to load environment variables through the CLI particularly using the beta feature "op run --environment <environmentID> -- <command>". Unfortunately I the tester am using Arch Linux as my main work OS and there doesn't seem to be any way to install the beta version of the CLI and make the 1password gui recognize the CLI. I've tried using the AppImage provided in your website but I just see a connectionreset error. If I use the provided 1pasword cli in the AUR it also won't work since it is not the beta cli. Any help for the next steps will be much appreciated, thanks!

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

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.
