Problems with op v2 when integrating with chezmoi
I’ve recently upgraded to op v2, and it’s breaking https://www.chezmoi.io/user-guide/password-managers/1password/ fairly hard. Even if the first issue is fixed (either in op or in chezmoi), there app...

Most of the questions that are "within" my messages are detailed at https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/discussions/1974 and are specifically related to using 1Password with chezmoi, which is a dotfile management tool that can integrate with 1Password and other tools in order to retrieve secrets and documents so that they are not stored in your dotfile repository. Input from 1Password personnel on this discussion would be of great value.
An example of how this would be used would be something like this template where I fill my AWS credentials file from a combination of a static list in my chezmoi.toml configuration file and 1Password documents:
```
{{- range .aws.credentials }}
{{ if eq .type "1p" -}}
{{ printf "# aws-credentials: %v (from %v %v %v)" .name .type .account .vault }}
{{ onepasswordDocument (printf "aws-credentials: %v" .name) .vault .account }}
{{- end -}}
{{- end -}}
```
That would turn into something like {{ onepasswordDocument "aws-credentials: personal" "Personal" "myaccount" }}, which turns into an op command that looks like op document get 'aws-credentials: personal' --vault Personal --account myaccount. If I my account is actually named foobarbaz, but I had set the shorthand myaccount, I now have to change my configuration to either use foobarbaz or the UUID…if I’m using biometric authentication. Things get much harder if I’m not, because of the change to the OP_SESSION_* variables.
Now to address your responses:
- I disagree with your reasoning on this.
op signin <account-identifier>is much the same asop document get <document-identifier>, becauseop signinis using the first parameter. It would be better, IMO, to make it such thatop signinworks without an identifier (signing into the last used account?), with an identifier (signing into the named account), or with--account identifier. That is, if I have last signed intomyaccount, thenop signin,op signin myaccount, andop signin --account myaccountshould all be equivalent. - Chezmoi reads from
OP_SESSION_<shorthand>and has no way to look upOP_SESSION_<account_id>, so the change fromOP_SESSION_<account_id>toOP_SESSION_<shorthand>is a breaking change, because the session can no longer be retrieved by the shorthand name which has been (optionally) used in the templates. This will force everyone to change their account identifier to the UUID. (The discussion mentioned at the top is a way that we can possibly work around this.) - No issues with the biometric item missing
OP_SESSION_*. Everything just works. - The missing shorthand may be a breaking change for people who had different shorthands than their account names. Its presence would be ideal, and again this is discussed in depth in the Github discussion linked above.
