Username, password, url as variables in the UI?

Question

hello

found this old discussion from 2016. 
https://1password.community/discussion/66087/username-password-variables

I wonder the same thing. Are the fields in the GUI exposed as usable variables? say that I'd like to add an SSH URL to a server, it'd be REAL handy do do it on this form:
ssh://${username-field}:${password-field}@${url-field}

If I then update the user/pass and/or URL to this server my links would work without me having to edit them. And when I have multiple links to a host this would be really nice (ssh, www, ipmi and so on).

Also, when using a ssh://username@hostname URL it opens a new terminal window, is there any neat way to make it open a tab in current window?

Cheers

Hi @NEO_, apologies for the delay, thanks for taking the time to search earlier threads!

I wish I had better news to share but unfortunately variables aren't currently supported in 1Password and we don't have any workarounds on our end to get SSH links to open in a new tab. 😞

I can definitely see how this would be useful though and have filed a feature request on your behalf internally, including the previous thread you found.

While I can't make any promises, if you're interested in seeing what changes are coming in the future, I recommend checking out the 1Password for Mac Beta Releases. Even if you don't use the beta itself, the release notes are a great way to see what's potentially coming to the production release.

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
