Thanks for the reply, Phil!

There is only one account. It was originally a personal account but I upgraded it to a family account a few years ago.

I’ve now tried `op signin` and the problem persists after this.

Which side (GUI/CLI) is it that handles this wrong? I.e. what is the actual name of my vault, and how can I tell? (I guess it may be a problem of two truths.)

Kind regards

Hi daniels​ ,

Sorry for the delay, this one fell through the cracks.  

I think the best thing to do is in the CLI to grab the VaultID and make sure that the item you are trying to access is contained within that vault.

// Pick the account you want to use
op signin

// This will show your vault and vault IDs, you should see the Private one
op vault list

It will show a list of unique vault ID's followed by the human readable name like this

Let from here you can use the unique Vault ID in your call

op item get [unique item id] --vault=[unique vault id]

and you should be able to piece the correct info together to do create the op URI.

I hope this helps.

Phil
