Unable to use biometrics without a hardlink
I've had to create a hardlink between /usr/local/bin/op and /opt/local/bin/ in order to use biometric unlock from the CLI. While this works, it seems like very awkward solution to use biometrics...
Hey there @illegalhex ,
We've allowed a sandbox exception for the Mac 1Password desktop app to communicate with op for biometric auth at the /usr/local/bin/op location for security reasons. For more info on the interprocess-communication, please refer to this https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/biometric-security#how-does-1password-cli-communicate-with-the-1password-app!
Having said that, we have received a numerous amount of complaints that this is restrictive to which package managers are used, and we have an open issue investigating improvements, although it has not been prioritized there yet. I will record your sentiments to that issue as well.
For the time being, does keeping the hardlink pose any concerns for you?
