1Password Connect and Plan Upgrade
Hi im currently using 1password team edition and looking to upgrade to Buisness, and have a question. Upgrading will that affect the token that i have and will i have to reissue it? Secondly, we'd also be looking to enable SSO would that also impact the usage of the token, also when troubleshooting we make use of 1password desktop would that impact the desktop usage as well?CLI Slow Performance
I have the 1Password desktop app installed and up to date on my macBook Pro, the `op` CLI is also installed, up to date, and working properly. All expected CLI queries work but they are surprisingly slow. After a bunch of trial and error, it seems that it is making a round-trip online as part of every single CLI query. I added the --debug flag and I can see cache hits, but the round trip online is still occurring. Disabling the network interface causes all queries to fail. Is it possible to get the 1Password CLI working fully offline to avoid all of this unnecessary round-trip business? Surely with the desktop app installed and CLI integration turned on, there has to be a way to make efficient (and offline) use of my 1Password vaults. Otherwise automation tasks that require secrets are simply too cumbersome to handle with 1Password, and I will require a secondary solution. And in that case, I may as well give up on 1Password.
AWS plugin MFA fails intermittently
When using the AWS plugin with MFA and profiles, about one in every 5 times it fails with this error: aws sts get-caller-identity --profile=profile [ERROR] 2024/05/06 12:44:59 could not run plugin AWS CLI: failed to provision credentials, encountered error(s): operation error STS: AssumeRole, failed to sign request: failed to retrieve credentials: operation error STS: GetSessionToken, https response error StatusCode: 403, RequestID: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, api error AccessDenied: Cannot call GetSessionToken with session credentials Most of the time I can then run op plugin run --debug --cache=false -- aws ls s3 to correct the situation.

Terraform plugin troubleshooting
I am troubleshooting some credential issues with the 1Password CLI terraform plugin. The plugin is in beta, I use `op` version `2.31.1-beta.01` as the latest beta version with the plugin at the time. Issue: the terraform output command does not get credentials. Baseline execution, credentials defined in environment, export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="..." export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..." terraform init # works terraform apply # works terraform output # works unset AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="..." unset AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="..." Executing using the same credentials but stored in 1Password: op plugin init terraform # Choose key from 1Password op plugin run -- terraform init # works op plugin run -- terraform apply # works op plugin run -- terraform output # Error: No valid credential sources found The expected behaviour is that terraform output also works. Here's an example Terraform script that I used for testing: terraform { required_version = ">= 1.9.0" required_providers { aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws" version = "~> 6.0" } } backend "s3" { bucket = "something-something-terraform-prod" key = "test/terraform.tfstate" region = "eu-central-1" use_lockfile = true encrypt = true } } provider "aws" { alias = "bootstrap" region = "eu-central-1" } data "aws_caller_identity" "current" { provider = aws.bootstrap } provider "aws" { region = "eu-central-1" assume_role { role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::${data.aws_caller_identity.current.account_id}:role/terraform-prod" } } data "aws_key_pair" "test" { key_name = "test-key-that-already-exists" } output key { value = data.aws_key_pair.test.key_name } Note that I use "assume-role" in the script, but this had no issues when using environment variables. I did NOT request a session token manually. I let terraform do the session management itself. The AWS provider is a bit overcomplicated, but this is what I had at hand. Terraform output works when using environment variables, and does not work when using the 1Password plugin. I ran terraform with trace level logs. I compared a working and a non-working log and the only difference is one line: 2025-09-19T21:14:32.935+0200 [TRACE] Meta.Backend: BackendOpts.Config not set, so using settings loaded from provider.tf:11,3-15 This makes me assume that the plugin does not hand over credentials to terraform when the "output" command is run. Since the state file can be stored on S3, credentials are essential for the output command. For completeness sake, here's the non-working log (with some redactions): 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [INFO] Terraform version: 1.13.2 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [DEBUG] using github.com/hashicorp/go-tfe v1.74.1 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [DEBUG] using github.com/hashicorp/hcl/v2 v2.24.0 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [DEBUG] using github.com/hashicorp/terraform-svchost v0.1.1 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [DEBUG] using github.com/zclconf/go-cty v1.16.3 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [INFO] Go runtime version: go1.24.5 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [INFO] CLI args: []string{"terraform", "output"} 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [TRACE] Stdout is a terminal of width 144 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [TRACE] Stderr is not a terminal 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [TRACE] Stdin is a terminal 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [DEBUG] Attempting to open CLI config file: /Users/user/.terraformrc 2025-09-19T21:14:32.934+0200 [DEBUG] File doesn't exist, but doesn't need to.

Feature request: Shortcut actions
i mentioned this before, but still interested in Shortcuts actions (Shortcuts.app). I mean it would be nice to use references inside of the shortcuts for things like API (ssh) keys, passwords in shortcut on both macOS and iOS. there is host of automation options that would be great to be able to use 1Password as the secure store for these items. 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided Browser: Not Provided
Retrieving security question fields with op read
We're trying to use 1Password's support for security questions, but having difficulty retrieving the values for fields that have a question mark at the end. For example, op read "op://MyOnePassword/SomeAccount/What is the street name on which you grew up?" yields a "could not parse query parameters" error. Encoding the question mark at the end as %3F doesn't help. What's the correct syntax for retrieving fields like this?SSH Agent signs out too soon
It's frustrating that the SSH Agent signs out when the computer itself locks. SSH Agent should have its own timeout. The use case is that I start AI training jobs that run on a Vast.AI GPU, and after a few hours of training, I need to download output artifacts and model checkpoints with rsync, which uses SSH. But because the SSH Agent locks when 1Password locks, I come back after a 4 hour GPU training job to find a 1Password password prompt, and a failed rsync download. At this point, the GPU server has long since been shut down, and the whole job has been lost. Unless I'm sitting in front of the computer exactly when the job finishes, the artifact download will never be downloaded. The only available workarounds are: Changing the 1Password lock timeout to 4 or 8 hours, a drastic reduction in security. An awkward and unnecessary round-trip to S3, which also means leading some credentials to the GPU server (Vast.AI servers are third-party spare GPU time, and I'm not comfortable sending credentials). And it's way less convenient. Dropping 1Password and storing the Cert unencrypted in WSL. I can't run the WSL SSH-Agent, because the socket is routed to 1Password on the Windows side. This compromise stinks, and it's only because the SSH key locks out when 1Password locks. SSH Agent should have its own timeout independent of the 1Password UI lock. Long-running bash scripts are commonplace. This could be any backup or computation that needs to upload via SSH after several hours. 1Password is totally dead in the water for this, unless you drastically reduce all security, either with unencrypted certs, or a 1Password lock time so long that security is meaningless. I thought for a while that this was because of Bash sub-shells, and the "Application" setting in the developer panel in SSH Agent. But even inside of the same shell, if I reduce the 1Password lock time to 1 minute, any SSH activity after that will promptly fail. It's terrible that you have to set the 1Password UI lock to match the longest Bash script you'll ever run, which can be hours.
Feature Request - Access vault from inside docker container
Background At our work, we spawn a Docker container that contains the tooling required to build our Yocto-based OS image. We want to pull a key from our shared 1Password vault and inject it into our OS image. Developers all have the op plugin installed and are logged in to their accounts. Problem If we install the op CLI inside the Docker image, developers have to log in to their account again when they spawn the container to get access to the vault. This is cumbersome. Our workaround is to have developers run a script before spawning the container that opens the vault on their host machine, accesses the vault through the op CLI, and grabs the key. We currently write it to disk on the host and mount that into the Docker container, which is a potential security vulnerability that we'd like to avoid. Proposed Solution I'd like to install the op plugin into our builder Docker image and access the op CLI from the host. We can do that for things like SSH - we mount the SSH_AUTH_SOCK into the container and it just proxies requests back into the host. Could there be a domain socket for the op CLI to allow us to do something similar?

I've set up a https://linuskarlsson.se/blog/podman-credential-helpers/ which runs `op read 'op://[redacted]'` internally. When I run the helper program in a terminal it works fine, prompts for the password if necessary, and prints the credentials. But when running `podman login` in the same terminal it fails with the following error: [ERROR] 2025/07/23 16:22:20 could not read secret 'op://[redacted]': error initializing client: connecting to desktop app: read: connection reset, make sure 1Password CLI is installed correctly, then open the 1Password app, select 1Password > Settings > Developer and make sure the 'Integrate with 1Password CLI' setting is turned on. If you're still having trouble connecting, visit https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/app-integration#troubleshooting for more help. I've verified that the setting is turned on (running the helper program directly wouldn't work otherwise). I'm running `op` version 2.31.0.
