Issue with using op.exe within WSL for Ansible
Despite using 1Password, 1Password CLI and Ansible successfully in WSL on Windows 11, I've recently run into an issue. The 1Password apps on my work device were not being updated, and I believe I was using version 8.8.8 of the main app and 2.17.0 of the CLI. (Not great, I know). I had created a symbolic link for "/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \)x86\)/1Password\ CLI/op.exe" to /usr/local/bin/op and everything was running fine. I could run 'op signin' and it would trigger my biometric authentication and 'op account list' would return my account as expected. I could also, use the community.general.onepassword lookup within Ansible just fine. I had a script to retrieve my ansible vault password configured in my ansible.cfg and this worked fine: #!/bin/bash op read "op://Personal/ansible_vault/password" After much cajoling, the support team have updated the 1Password applications on my device, I'm now running 8.11.2 of the Desktop app and 2.31.1 of OP CLI. Most of my environment works as before, 'op account list' triggers my biometrics and then returns the expected values and my ansible vault script above continues to work in the same way... however now the community.general.onepassword plugin is complaining that I'm not passing the required parameters (secret key, username, master_password, subdomain) ... but I shouldn't need to do this, as I am signed into 1Password. Again, this worked fine before upgrading the Windows OP CLI and App. Is this expected? I guess I could add these security items into my Ansible vault but I thought the whole point of OP CLI was to be able to move away from static security info in files (even if it is encrypted) and using password managers?
Copy secret reference (using ID values)
This applies to all platforms (not just Mac), but I didn't see a community category for "all platforms", so I'm choosing Mac because it seems to have the highest user activity Perhaps I've missed some documentation, but I don't find a way to copy a https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/secrets-reference-syntax/ using the desktop app. This seems like a basic and essential task during development. What I want is this format: op://vault_id/item_id/section_id/field_id or if the value isn't in a section: op://vault_id/item_id/field_id How can I do that easily — and get a secret reference defined by ID values (which should be immutable — vs. name values which can be modified)? More context: I find some ways to construct the URL manually (but this is not ideal): A URL can be copied which includes the vault and item ID among other query parameters: I get one in a format like this: https://start.1password.com/open/i?v={VAULT_ID}&i={ITEM_ID} However, that's not enough as it doesn't include the section/field, and would need to be manually edited or processed by other tooling as an additional step to get the required output. I can also use "Copy item UUID" and then paste that as an argument to a manually-typed CLI command to get much more than what's needed: % op --format=json item get x5k2wndiih6cmw2rugl7ol442i { "id": "x5k2wndiih6cmw2rugl7ol442i", // --- snip --- "vault": { "id": "{REDACTED_VAULT_ID}", // --- snip --- }, // --- snip --- "fields": [ // --- snip --- { "id": "credential", "type": "CONCEALED", "label": "credential", "value": "abc123", "reference": "op://{REDACTED_VAULT_NAME}/API Credential/credential" }, // --- snip --- ] } However, this still involves either manually copying+pasting IDs or using other tooling to parse and create the required output. The JSON does include a reference value for the target field, but the reference is built using names, which isn't satisfactory for the reasons described previously. For the example above, what I want to copy to the clipboard is the following (where {VAULT_ID} is replaced by the actual vault ID): op://{VAULT_ID}/x5k2wndiih6cmw2rugl7ol442i/credential I think that if the boolean option is enabled at Settings > Advanced > Show debugging tools: then there should be an option to copy a complete ID-based secret reference for every field in its contextual menu: This is a re-posting of previous issue — the 1Password team stopped responding and it was closed without comment: https://1password.community/discussion/139642/copy-secret-reference-using-id-values 1Password Version: 8.10.48 Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: macOS 15.0.1 Browser: Not Provided
ssh-agent - use specific key for specific hosts
Using 1Password SSH keys has worked fine until I crossed a threshold in the number of keys whereby some hosts don't like how many keys they are offered. I found this old thread that describes how to customize the agent.toml file to indicate which keys are presented, but that doesn't really help when I have a number of vault keys I need to use. I could resequence them using agent.toml, but I'll just have this same problem with one host or another. I basically need to somehow map prevent ssh-agent from scouring the entire list. The thread above indicated that there would be future work on this - it might be that I'm just asking for an update.SSH agent isn't working (Windows 11)
I can't use my vault's SSH keys on my terminal. I've reinstalled multiple times and followed the https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/get-started/, but I can't make it work correctly. My 1Password config is set up as follows: I've disabled the OpenSSH Authentication Agent (the screenshot is in spanish) My ~/.ssh/config file: Host * IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock" My ~/.gitconfig file: [core] sshCommand = ssh.exe autocrlf = input [user] email = {email} name = {user} signingkey = ssh-ed25519 AAA[...] [gpg] format = ssh [gpg "ssh"] program =

Managing Vaults
I have Reached out to support on this already 2 time and have not heard back. My more recent ticket is ZPJ-59297-563. ( PS. the AI chat box Sucks). Our company use the web version primarily and recently haven't been able to move anything from one vault to another. This is frustrating and kind of defeats the purpose of 1 Pass. We uses to be able to and it was Super easy, however, now the web version doesn't look as nice ( looks like an older vs.) and I cant find the "move" button anywhere. I am on the "Owner" account so permissions shouldn't be the problem. However, I have tried on a "Admin" Account and it didn't work either. We recently Linked our account to a MSP so this could be the case but either way we need to be albe to move passwords between vaults. I have attached 3 Images of my Screen.
Feature Request: Restrict Visibility, Copy, and Export of Private SSH Keys in a Shared Vault
Dear 1Password Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am a user of 1Password, currently managing SSH keys for secure access to our my Cloud servers. I am reaching out to enquire about a feature regarding SSH key management within 1Password. Issue Description Currently, when I store an SSH key in a shared vault and add my colleagues into the vault, all fields of the SSH key item, including the private key, become visible to them. This poses a security concern, as I need to grant access for them to use the key for authentication without allowing them to see, copy, or export the private key itself. Let me know if this feature exists in any of your available plans. Thanks, Jay.
