Hi @shahab96, that could happen if you have the environment variable OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT set with an incorrect token.

Could you unset that environment variable, log into your account with op signin and then try whoami or the secret reference?

There's definitely scope for us to improve this messaging, so I'll track this internally. Thank you for surfacing this!
