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.
