i mentioned this before, but still interested in Shortcuts actions (Shortcuts.app). I mean it would be nice to use references inside of the shortcuts for things like API (ssh) keys, passwords in shortcut on both macOS and iOS. there is host of automation options that would be great to be able to use 1Password as the secure store for these items.

I would love to see the ability to create logins (or other items) in 1Password, via Shortcuts. Maybe for logins, Shortcuts could prompt for Title, Username, Password, Website and then give options to save and dismiss or save and open the new login.

It's clearly been a while since this request has been made, but here I am two years later, finally moved away from AssPass (horrible UX and horrible company in general), and I could really use some integration with Shortcuts even if it's nothing more than a single action that can authenticate via biometrics and retrieve an SSH key or password.

Hi @Mal et. all,

I was able to access a secret using the CLI command as Dave mentioned above. Here's a screenshot. It basically accesses the secret and sets it to a variable. It is not the cleanest way to do it, but it can be done.

I hope this helps,
Phil

Use case: I use Shortcuts on iOS to make an API request (using built-in "Get Contents of URL" action). However, the API Key for the service needs to be added to a Header. Right now, I have it hardcoded into the Shortcut. But when I want to rotate this credential (it expires every so often), I'd like to just do it in one place: 1Password. Right now I have to hunt for all the places I might have hardcoded it, and it's easy for my automations to break. What's the point of an automation if it breaks unpredictably?

My Shortcut is hooked up to a Personal Automation on iOS. I can see that if I wanted to run the automation on macOS, then "shelling out" to the CLI might be an option. But I don't have an always-on Mac, the way my iPhone is reliably always with me and charged.
