Can I assemble password string with OTP?

Hi @jjjttt,

I appreciate your feedback and, while I can’t make any promises, I have added your feature request to our internal tracker. Feel free to get in touch if there's anything else we can help with in the future!

I'm afraid I have to agree with user raf2000. There are so many threads asking for this feature and it is a really common use case. You encounter it everywhere, basically.
Considering this, it's hard to understand why this hasn't been implemented yet -half a decade after the first request-, since the implementation should be really straightforward with existing features: just add a button to copy password + OTP as single string to clipboard. We can copy each password separately already and concatenating two strings is a one liner at best in most programming languages.
The feature is fairly simple so how hard can it be to implement this functionality? If the password is "uiae" and the OTP is "123456", send the string "uiae123456" to the clipboard. Add an option to add a custom separator character in between.

1password is a great tool otherwise which is why missing this feature is especially disappointing.

Hello. I've registered just for making this comment: I'm a new user and I was looking for "how to concatenate a string with the OTP in 1password". To may dismay, I see conversations with this exact same topic from 2017. This is 2022 and the exact same person is, 5 years later, telling us: "NO. Do it yourself. Here's some code". Nice.

Hi @DZelenak

Thanks for taking the time to write in. I can appreciate the thought of trying to make this workflow easier. 😊 There isn't anything in 1Password for Mac that would automate this for you, but you might consider building a script using our CLI to do it. The documentation on the CLI is available here:

1Password CLI Developer Documentation

I don't have a proof of concept to share off-hand, but some pseudo code that might help get you started is:


op signin
password = $(op item get MySwitch --fields label=password)
otp = $(op item get MySwitch --otp)
passAndOtp = $password + "," + $otp
echo $passAndOtp | pbcopy


I hope that helps!
