This is a poor tool for AWS credentials.

Specifically for AWS credentials, a MUCH better tool (IMO) is to use https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault. It does good things like support STS session tokens by default, and even supports more enterprise-y features like AWS SSO.

Hey @bevis,

It is a indeed a little unusual for an op item get command to take 15 seconds absent a networking issue. Can you go into a little more on what steps you're taking and what you're seeing?

Hi @"keith.craig",

I don't think I'm taking any different steps, except I'm accessing the 1Password server from China. With or without a VPN are the same. But under the VPN I can access Google/YouTube or other common websites in one second.

And kindly remind you that in https://1password.community/discussion/121911/cli-commands-are-very-slow Rensa also mentioned he took 10-15 seconds to run an op command.

Hey there @bevis ,

We have also had a few other complaints about the performance of op item get recently after the 2.0.0 release.

Do note that this is important to us, and we have an investigation going on to identify the issue and optimize the command.

For the time being, may I ask how many vaults you have, and roughly how many items you have on your account? If it is a business/team account then an approximation of the vaults/items you have access is fine as well.

Also, I am not sure if you are using the --vault flag to specify the vault or not, but I can confidently say that using the flag will reduce the number of API calls made to the server greatly, and generally speed up commands. Please give that a try for now and let us know if that changes anything performance-wise.

Thank you @bevis ,

This information will be helpful when investigating the optimization issue.
