Fingerprint sensor support on remote systems?
Hello, maybe I missed something. Hence, I am asking before buying a new Mac Keyboard with sensor ... I use 1Password for: local stuff on my Mac on remote systems over ssh Visual Studio Code (VSC) remote over ssh VSC Docker devcontainers on remote Linux systems (In VSC open a folder on a remote system, open the project folder in docker devcontainers) Typing in the vault password is a cumbersome thing, when done too often, and restarting and rebuilding the containers, are new shells / terminals requesting entering the 1Password vault password often. Hence, I am looking for a way to make this simpler and hoped for support of the fingerprint sensor on remote systems.
Tooling to expose 1Password entries as environment variables for specific commands
The https://github.com/bevry/dorothy provides a secret command, which interfaces with the 1Password CLI, to do such things as secret get and sercret env -- command to grab your secrets only when they are needed, and expose them only to the command that needs it. This is much more secure than exposing your secrets to your environment, which is commonly sent to a server when malicious software runs. I use it all the time, relevant links: https://github.com/bevry/dorothy#secrets https://github.com/bevry/dorothy/blob/master/commands/secret My .dorothy/user/secrets/secrets.json file looks like so: json { "DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SERVER": ["personal", "bevry discourse", "server"], "DISCOURSE_BEVRY_ROOT": ["personal", "bevry discourse", "root"], "DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SSH": ["personal", "ssh keys", "bevry discourse"], "SCALEWAY_SSH": ["personal", "ssh keys", "scaleway"] } Which I use like so: bash secret get DISCOURSE_BEVRY_ROOT DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SSH SCALEWAY_SSH secret env DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SERVER -- ssh 'root@$DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SERVER' You can create your own configuration file by writing .dorothy/user/secrets/secrets.json directly, or by using: ``` bash secret map e.g. for my configuration file earlier, I would configure the database like so secret map DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SERVER personal 'bevry discourse' server secret map DISCOURSE_BEVRY_ROOT personal 'bevry discourse' root secret map DISCOURSE_BEVRY_SSH personal 'ssh keys' 'bevry discourse' secret map SCALEWAY_SSH personal 'ssh keys' scaleway ``` You may be able to trial it standalone (without setting up Dorothy) by running: bash --rcfile <(curl -fsSL https://dorothy.bevry.workers.dev) secret ...

Please make the CLI examples more secure
It is more secure to surround $(command) with quotes, unless you are absolutely, positively, sure that the output will not include spaces. When it is unquoted, the shell splits the output: $ for i in $(echo one two three) ; do echo $i ; done one two three $ for i in "$(echo one two three)" ; do echo $i ; done one two three Thus, if a malicious person added a space to an entry, a command like this will fail: # suppose op://prod/docker/username contained the string "FIRST SECOND" $ docker login -u $(op read op://prod/docker/username) -p $(op read op://prod/docker/password) time="2025-10-09T14:00:31-04:00" level=info msg="Error logging in to endpoint, trying next endpoint" endpoint="{https://SECOND 0x140006161e0}" error="Get \"https://SECOND/v2/\": remote error: tls: handshake failure" Get "https://SECOND/v2/": remote error: tls: handshake failure It is safer to surround it with quotes: docker login -u "$(op read op://prod/docker/username)" -p "$(op read op://prod/docker/password)" Places where quotes should be added: https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secret-references https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secrets-scripts The docker example in: "op read -h" (possibly other places) Thanks! TomSecurity concern with allowing Terminal complete access to my 1P account via op CLI
I have a shell script that uses 1Password secret reference: export EXAMPLE_API_KEY=$(op read "op://Vault-Name/Example API Token/Specific-Token/Token") But when it's loaded, I have to authorise the terminal/shell to have access to it (see screenshot) My concern is that it's giving the terminal/shell access to my entire account and all vaults within it when I only want to provide it with access to one entry within a single vault. What happens if I had a malicious script installed that scans for 1Password secret references across multiple files? The script might not be able to identify the "account" but it just needs the vault names. Then it can start to build up common names for identifying secrets stored within 1Password and try requesting them, and if I've already authorised the terminal/shell I won't see a popup notification and so the script would be free to access the secrets. Initially, I moved any secrets I use for development work into a separate vault, which I thought would help when it came to the terminal/shell requiring access via a 1Password secret reference because it would only have access to that specific vault (reducing the blast radius) but that's when I noticed it wasn't getting access to just the vault but the entire account. I'm not sure how much of an issue people think this is but it worries me. 1Password Version: 8.10.40 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 15.1 Browser: Chrome
Windows CLI session
Hi all, I've been happily working with the 1password CLI for some years now. On Windows, Linux and lately Mac. When the app authentication integration released I was quite stoked that I could now use biometrics/windows hello in my sessions. I've been integrating op commands in various scripts of mine, and I've been noticing that the session doesn't work at all when using this app integration on Windows (maybe also Mac/Linux, but didn't test it there), or that I just don't understand how it works. I've read all the limitations and issues people are having with subshells, the --session and the --raw parameters not working, but that still does not explain why doing multiple commands in a single script or terminal session should ask for authentication every command it does. Multiple use cases; 1. I open a new terminal session. I enter some command like op item list. I get asked to signin by the app using windows hello. I signin, and I the command executes successfully. If my understanding is correct, this should authenticate my current terminal for 10 minutes. However, if I immediately enter the command again, I have to authenticate again. 2. I have a simple powershell script. In that script, I execute an op item list command twice. So for example my script.ps1 can look like; $items1 = op item list $items2 = op item list No weird things with subshells or whatever, so I would expect 1 prompt for the authentication on the first command, and for the second it should already be authenticated. However, I get 2 authentication prompts. So my question; do I misunderstand how this authentication using the app integration should work in a single shell or script, or is this some bug? Is there a workaround (without having to disable the app integration) I'm using the latest 1password cli -V2.32.0- and 1password app - 1Password for Windows 8.11.12 (81112027). I've also noticed this behaviour on multiple windows devices.
Attachments not visible when shared
Hello, I am using op cli in powershell (windows) to create new secure note with the password and file attachment. Everything is working at this point. Then I am using another call to share that secure note with external user. Once I share the uri with the end user, he can access the secure note and it's secret, but he does not see any attachments. If I share manually from the desktop app the same secure note, then it works and user sees the file. Interestingly, if I use python SDK and this example https://github.com/1Password/solutions/tree/main/1password/onepassword_sdks/demo-share-script then end user can access file too. So is this a limitation from op.exe? If yes, do you have a roadmap to support it?
CLI access for team members in a read only mode
Hi, i've been wondering if there is an option to create a group in your Team where you give users the option to use cli with limited access to only let it do non changing things like reading secrets/variables as from my understanding so far cli access mostly came allong with the permission to manage things. Is there any way to do that currently as otherwise i wouldnt really know how to do that. Kind regards, -kiru
vscode: CLI is not installed
I am using vscode 1.95.1 on macOS 15.2 Beta (24C5073e) 'op' is in the path and returns '2.30.0-beta.03' The 1password extension 1.0.5 is installed I can run 1password: Choose Account / 1password: Choose vault without any issue However every time vscode starts up I get a popup ``` CLI is not installed. Please install it to use 1Password for VS Code. Source: 1Password ``` How do I address this? 1Password Version: 8.10.52 Extension Version: 1.0.5 OS Version: macOS 15.2 Browser: Edge
