New getting-started guides, AI search, and LLM-ready docs for 1Password dev tools at 1password.dev
Hi everyone! We've been investing in making 1Password's developer documentation genuinely useful from the first click, and we wanted to share what's now live over at 1password.dev. 📖 New getting-started guides We've published workflow-based getting-started guides across every major tool area: SSH & Git, 1Password CLI, SDKs (Go, JavaScript, Python), Environments, integrations, and more. Instead of jumping between reference pages, you can follow a clear path from setup to working integration, organized around how you actually build. 🔍 AI-powered search across the docs You can hit Ctrl+K on any page and ask a question in plain language. The built-in AI assistant searches the full documentation set and gives you a direct answer with links to the relevant pages. It’s a much faster way to find what you need, especially if you’re not sure which tool or section to look in. Try it: open 1password.dev, hit ⌘+K, and type “How do I set up git commit signing with multiple GitHub accounts?” 🤖 Docs built for AI dev workflows If you use AI coding assistants like Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, or Claude, our docs are now natively consumable. Every page is available as Markdown (append .md to any URL), and we serve llms.txt and llms-full.txt at the site root so your tools can reference 1Password docs directly. Details here: Build with LLMs 🏗️ Refreshed docs structure The documentation is now organized around the way developers work, with clearer navigation across SSH & Git, CLI, SDKs, Environments, secrets management, and integrations. If you've found our docs hard to navigate in the past, it's worth another look. 📌 One practical note: our developer docs now live at 1password.dev. All your existing developer.1password.com links and bookmarks redirect automatically, so nothing breaks. We'd love your feedback If you run into any issues or have suggestions, let us know in this thread. You can also reach us in the 1Password Developers Slack. Happy building! 🔐SSH agent requires restart between every GitHub request
I've been using the 1Password SSH agent to sign commits and authenticate with GitHub for months without any issues. Today, I started experiencing intermittent SSH timeouts when trying to pull, fetch, or push: ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. At first I assumed this was a GitHub outage, but I noticed that when 1Password prompted me to approve the SSH key, the request would succeed. After a while, the timeouts would return. I changed "Remember key approval" from 12 hours to "until 1Password quits." This helped, but now I have to restart 1Password and re-approve the key between every single Git request, otherwise it times out again. Environment: Windows 11 Affects Git CLI, Git Fork, and VS Code Commit signing with the same key still works fine What I've tried: Changing "Remember key approval" to "until 1Password quits" Restarting 1Password (temporarily fixes it for one request) Restarting my computer Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Reference for Private vault copied from GUI doesn't work in CLI
I use the `op` cli with a personal/family account. When I right click a password/key in the GUI in my Private account and selects "Copy Secret Reference", the reference starts with "op://Private". If I tried to read the reference using `op read` it fails with [ERROR] 2025/08/08 15:24:36 could not read secret op://Private/{Item}/{Field}: could not get item Private/{Item}: "Private" isn't a vault in this account. Specify the vault with its ID or name. So I have to replace the vault segment it with "Personal" or the vault reference hash to make it work with `op`. This is really inconvenient. Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do to fix it? (The "Private" vault can't be renamed.)
Passkey algorithm support
Recently I began a passkey integration and I'm using 1password to test things out. There are a great deal of passkey algorithms that exist: https://www.iana.org/assignments/cose/cose.xhtml#algorithms Unfortunately it seems like if I remove all the "Recommended: No" and "Recommended: Deprecated" ones, I am unable to get 1password to generate a passkey. It gives me a somewhat opaque "1password encountered a problem" in the passkey dialogue after I click Save, and it seems to fall back to the browser which prompts me for a security key. I see this in the console log: PortOpener: passkey-save-prompt/XXXXXX received error: "create-passkey-failed" The algorithms I chose in order to be more secure based on the recommendations on that page and what I'm able to support in my server: PS384 PS512 RS256 RS384 RS512 The "deprecated" algorithm I added to make the error go away, and allow 1password to correctly function: ES256 Is there anywhere to find the full list of passkey algorithms 1password supports so I can try to come up with a good list to use on the server-side? Ideally it wouldn't contain deprecated ones.
'op read' mistreats binary content
I wanted to write a command for git crypt unlock <FILE>, but since the command requires file as input and I was figuring out how to get content of attachment, I first tried it with op read 'op://<my-vault>//git-crypt.key' > git-crypt.key. Then, trying to unlock with now stored key, I was met with error "not a valid git-crypt key file". After some investigation, I found out that the stored key is slightly modified. This seem to happen when: The content is at least partially binary The content contains some invalid Unicode sequences or certain control characters The content is directly redirected into a file using > operator It seems that ascii-only content isn't affected. The binary content is also not affected when it's being piped into another process (e.g. op read 'op://<my-vault>/<my-item>/git-crypt.key' | cat > git-crypt.key - extra cat in the pipeline helps op store the contents correctly). What also works correctly is git crypt unlock <(op read -n ...) as it also creates a inter-process pipe. Since there's quite glaring occurrence of ef bf bd, which is a Unicode replacement character (�), and sequence 594f 7f63 is transformed to just 594f 63.. (7f being a DELETE control character), it seems that the content undergoes some UTF-8 decoding/processing. This is bit confusing as it's neither documented, nor is there any -b | --binary option to control this behavior. # Create a binary file and upload it to 1Password > dd if=/dev/urandom of=binary-data bs=1 count=32 # Fetch the attachment from 1Password using CLI > op read -n 'op://<my-vault>/Test/binary-data' > binary-data-redirected-to-file > op read -n 'op://<my-vault>/Test/binary-data' | cat > binary-data-piped-through-cat # Print content > hexxy -n binary-data 0000000: 00c6 773b 1963 95f1 6dc5 1bb6 bdde 4946 ..w;.c..m.....IF 0000010: 9f0e 594f 7f63 b6ed 2392 f9e1 91b3 abfc ..YO.c..#....... > hexxy -n binary-data-redirected-to-file 0000000: efbf bd77 3b63 efbf bdef bfbd 6def bfbd ...w;c......m... 0000010: efbf bdef bfbd efbf bd49 46ef bfbd 594f .........IF...YO 0000020: 63ef bfbd efbf bd23 efbf bdef bfbd e191 c......#........ 0000030: b3ef bfbd efbf bd ....... > hexxy -n binary-data-piped-through-cat 0000000: 00c6 773b 1963 95f1 6dc5 1bb6 bdde 4946 ..w;.c..m.....IF 0000010: 9f0e 594f 7f63 b6ed 2392 f9e1 91b3 abfc ..YO.c..#.......

Connection reset when `podman login` runs `op`
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.
