1Password integration in iTerm2 version 3.5?
The release notes of iTerm2 version 3.5 mention 1Password integration:
The password manager can now use LastPass or 1Password rather than the keychain. Use the (⋯) menu next to the search field to configure it.
How do we use this? (And what's the added value?)

For those who have this working, I'm curious how. I've never been able to get it to work.
I use 1Password CLI all day long, so I know that's working. I can verify that iTerm2 is able to access my saved password from 1Password by tagging the entries with `iTerm2`. And I can verify that if I tell iTerm2 to enter my password into anything but a login or ssh password prompt to does so correctly (after warning me).
But whenever I try to use it at an ssh password prompt, the password is always invalid. Obviously, I can't see what it's entering into the terminal.
Anyone experience this or have any ideas what might be going on?
Figured it out. After closer inspection of what iTerm2 was doing, I realized it was appending the OTP value to the end of the password. Apparently this can be disabled by using the tag "iTerm2-no-otp" for the password entry in 1Password.

I wish this was better documented.

Yes, that's the magic trick! Thank you.
Where did you find that?
Tag the 1Password items you want exposed to iTerm2 with
iTerm2.Yes, I had to log in using Touch ID.
However, after that the (iTerm) dialog remains empty. I don’t see any passwords and don’t know how to use them in iTerm.
(There’s not much documentation about this, or I did not find it yet)
Do you have the 1Password CLI installed?
In the pull down, did you select 1Password integration? With the CLI (i.e. /usr/local/bin/op) installed, a dialog should then appear asking for your Master Password.
I did that (before posting my question), but I don’t see a single entry in there…
Does it work for you? (How?)
In iTerm2, use menu Windows > Password Manager. At the upper right of the dialog that opens, use the ... (ellipsis) menu.
The
⋯you see in the release notes is simply a Unicode issue in the plain text. Its supposed to be an ellipsis character.
