    CLI sessions are currently tied to a single TTY/PTY, so single terminal pane. And it's that strict because CLI sessions give full access to your 1Password account.

    We are considering to offer other authorization models with a lower blast radius, so if you can tell me what exactly you're trying to access from 1Password through the CLI, that could help us inform our decision.

Thanks for the reply. I investigated a bit more how our internal tooling resolves the login.

And what I would like to have is to have the logging from
```
op account get
```
be activated for a whole tmux (or other tiled session).

When I run it the first time, it triggers the pop-up from 1password-cli to login, but any second time from the same terminal the login is saved.
However, when having multiple terminals (or a multiplexed-terminal) I need to login for each sub-window.

Is there any way of having to login only once for a multiplexed terminal?

    I'm accessing one login-credential (username + password) which is used to login on multiple remote session.
