op CLI with biometric unlock using Polkit not working

Hi, I'm using 1Password 8.6.1-1 and CLI 2.0.0-4 from the Arch User Repo. I usually use i3-gnome-flashback, but I see the same problem under GNOME on Wayland, or GNOME Flashback. I appreciate the i3...

Hey!

I am sorry for the late reply from our side. I see awe already provided some great tips. Let me see what I can do for you.

Judging from the No accounts configured for use with 1Password CLI. response from the CLI, it looks like the CLI has some trouble determining whether CLI biometric unlock is enabled in the 1Password app.

There are two things we could try:

First of all, you could try running the following command to see if something goes wrong when determining the configuration of the 1Password app:

OP_LOAD_DESKTOP_APP_SETTINGS=true op vault ls

I expect this to return an error that points us in the direction of the problem.

Secondly, you could use OP_BIOMETRIC_UNLOCK_ENABLED to force the CLI to connect to the 1Password app. For example:

OP_BIOMETRIC_UNLOCK_ENABLED=true op vault ls

This should tell us whether the rest of the integration with the 1Password app is working correctly.

Could you let me know what those commands output?

Cheers,
Joris
