I set several env vars in my .zshrc using op read. When the .zshrc loads, I am prompted with a screen pop for Touch ID and Apple Watch.

This happens whether or not I have authenticated (unlocked) the 1P UI. Is it possible to get a value from my vault into an env var without this prompt, assuming I have unlocked?

Context: each time I open a new tab in iTerm I get the prompts

1Password Version: 1Password for Mac 8.10.6 (81006027)
Extension Version: 2.18.0
OS Version: macos Ventura 13.4 (22F66)
Browser:_ Chrome

I found https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/app-integration-security/#security-model which suggests that a new terminal session forces a new authentication.

But if I don't want this (and am willing to assume the risk) are there options?

Hello!

There are not currently any options to do that, and due to the security can of worms that would open it's not on our short-term roadmap. Service accounts might be a reasonable solution for your use case, here is a good starting point: https://developer.1password.com/docs/service-accounts/

Thank you for your request!

Turns out it's not an issue really -- I have moved 2 of the 3 items (Github and AWS) to the plugins, and it's all good. Thanks so much for your reply. And thanks for keeping our world a bit more secure!
