Hi @rollsdevoted:

Great question. To use 1Password CLI non-interactively, like in a script, you'll need to pipe the password into it.

For example:

```

add the account

eval $(echo "$PASSWORD" | op account add --address my.1password.com --email "$EMAIL" --secret-key "$SECRET_KEY")

sign in to the account

eval $(echo "$PASSWORD" | op signin)
```
This example uses a very basic way of adding the password, however, and shouldn't be stored directly in the bash script.

Let me know how you get on with that.
