1Password ssh agent and TOTP auto-fill
Hi, I just switch from the standard ssh-agent to the one provided in 1Password. The reason for doing it is that I also use 1Password to manage my TOTP. I was expecting that there was some way to auto-fill TOTP code after a successful login with the SSH key but It does not seem so simple. Reading the doc, I understand that auto-fill works when the login is used with a user/pwd retrieved from 1Password which is not the case here. Did I miss something? Is there a way to match the TOTP code generated with a host+user (and without a password)? Is there a way to get it working when the user to use with the host is preset in the SSH configuration rather than retrieved from 1Password? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Best regards, Michel
Markdown 'pre-formatted' text causes note preview to be truncated
According to this link, you can add pre-formatted text to 1pass notes, by prefixing each line with 4 spaces https://support.1password.com/markdown/?linux This doesnt appear to be working as intended, but instead truncates the preview of the note in some cases Saving the note below LINE 1 LINE 2 LINE 3 LINE 4 LINE 5 Previews as LINE 1 LINE 2 LINE 3 And this note LINE 1 LINE 2 LINE 3 LINE 4 LINE 5 Previews as LINE 1 LINE 2 1Password for Linux 8.11.2 (81102021)
missing Features from PasswordSafe
How can I open Application (Win11 / Linux) from 1PW? I use many tools which run as local applications on my Laptop Sure I can open them first and then copy/paste login+password from 1PW, but it would be much easier to open Application directly from 1PW and get login+password fields Autofilled.. So fare 1PW only opens web-based Login with Standard Browser : ( I miss cool Features from PasswordSafe PWS eg each Login Entry can be customized in PWS where as 1PW has no big choise. - add “[alt]” in front of URL an Webpage will open in Alternate http://browser..if/if you click "Browse to URL" - double click Action can be preset for each Login Entry individually eg Browse to URL (default) or Browse to URL + AutoType - Application can be started from PWS too Change "Double Click Action" to "Run Command" and store Path of Application "C:\Program Files\xyz.exe" in field "Run Cmd". PWS will start Application and with Button "Perform Auto Type" login/pw will be entered in one go. That avoids copy/paste
1Password Shortcuts on Wayland
1Password is an application that works very well when users can invoke it from anywhere. Quick Access in particular is a feature that is meant to be invoked from anywhere on your desktop. However, as many of you know, the Wayland developers made a deliberate choice to not allow applications to set global shortcuts. To my knowledge, all Wayland implementations have continued to honor this choice. The reasoning is valid, though: global shortcuts make keyloggers trivial. 1Password can run as a native Wayland application, and defaults to XWayland. This, however, does not help since the primary desktop environment is itself Wayland. For a variety of reasons, we have provided command line options for several of the most useful 1Password commands. In this article, I'll describe how to use those options to set up global shortcuts for 1Password with both Gnome Shell and Sway. It is, fortunately, very easy. Gnome Shell For this example, I'm running Gnome Shell 40.4.0, Wayland mode, on Fedora Core 34. Start by finding Keyboard > Customize Shortcuts in your Settings application. Next, select Customize Shortcuts Your list of custom shortcuts may start empty, but you will want to get to something like this: Press the + button at the bottom to create a new shortcut, and you'll get a screen like this: As you create each shortcut, name each one in a way that makes sense to you. In the Command field, you will write a trivial script that invokes 1Password with the option that you want. Once you have created that invocation, set the keyboard shortcut as you desire. I recommend multiple key bindings that all work together. The following is the 1Password defaults set on other platforms, and on XOrg-based displays. Name Command Shortcut Open or Toggle 1Password 1password --toggle Ctrl + p Lock 1Password 1password --lock Ctrl + Shift + L Open Quick Access 1password --quick-access Ctrl + Shift + Space note: there is no default for Open or Toggle 1Password, so I made something up. Sway Sway does not have a GUI configurator, but instead does everything in the configuration file at ~/.config/sway/config . Fortunately, this is very easy to set up: bindsym Ctrl+Shift+l 1password --lock byndsym Ctrl+Shift+space exec 1password --quick-access KDE Plasma coming soon
1Password Beta + SSH Agent + Hyprland
I’m seeing an issue on 8.11.12_26.BETA where the SSH agent window opens at only ~400x100, making it difficult to use. This problem does not occur on earlier builds — after downgrading to 8.11.10-32.BETA, the window renders normally and everything works fine again. I also noticed a mention of a fix in 8.11.12_26.BETA-26, which seems like it might be related and potentially introduced a regression. [Fixed] We’ve fixed an issue that prevented rich SSH and CLI prompts from appearing on Wayland. Environment: Omarchy v3.0.2 Hyprland 0.51.1 (Wayland) Linux 6.16.8-arch3-1 Happy to provide logs or run additional tests if helpful. Thanks for looking into this!

Package manager support on arm64 Linux distributions
Can we get actual support for delivering 1Password releases using proper repositories and native package archive types recognized by the package managers on arm64 variants of Linux distributions? At least the big ones: Ubuntu [deb], Fedora/Redhat/SUSE [rpm] It's been ages since support for running 1password on arm64 Linux was delivered. Initially, in the forums 1Password staff said these releases weren't hosted in proper repositories and packaged because of toolchain issues with packaging up releases. Understandable initially, but approaching inexcusable at this point. It's tedious and annoying to have to do the manual downloads and installs of update gzips release after release. The arm64 version of the app doesn't even notify users that a new release is available, to trigger them to go through the manual tedium to stay up to date. Which seems at odds with 1Password's otherwise strong commitment to keeping users up to date and secure.
1Password and the GNOME system icon tray
While I am using Linux (Fedora 42 Workstation with GNOME 48.4), this impacts me as well. As GNOME doesn't have a system icon tray by default, it usually puts background applications in the background app section of the quick settings menu but as far as I can tell this doesn't happen with 1Password. I have the option for the menu bar icon selected but as the desktop environment doesn't support icons, when I close 1Password leaves me with an unlocked browser and I have to launch the application to see this. While this is suitable for my needs it's not the way a user would expect the app to work and if they're naive about this could present a security risk. What would be preferable is for 1Password to have an option to properly run as a background service so that the user is made aware in the quick settings panel independent of the option to have an icon since it isn't altogether clear that the latter option controls the former, particularly on systems where there is no concept of a system tray. This would not only alleviate confusion about the function of placing the icon there, it would have the additional effect of addressing konsk1's concern about users on desktop environments with a system tray having an icon they don't need or want.
