Hey there, @klinteastwood,

You're correct that in theory forwarding the pipe should also allow the op tool in WSL to unlock with the help of 1Password for Windows 8. Today, the CLI attempts to connect to a UNIX socket called 1Password-BrowserSupport.sock in either $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if its available, or in /run/user/$UID if the first doesn't exist.

The named pipe you found is used by both the CLI and 1Password in the Browser, but since the browser extension used it first it has an under-loaded name. However, I should note that even if this does end up working for you today, there's no guarantee something in this process won't change down the road.

Hopefully that helps you out!
