Handy 1Password CLI Wrapper Functions

November 07, 2020

I quickly got bored of having to execute the login command each time I wanted a password from 1Password CLI. These functions check for the not logged in error and ask for your password there and then.

Also the functions wrap up getting the password and copying it to the clipboard.

You will need:

1Password CLI
xclip eg apt-get install xclip
jq eg apt-get install jq

The following will cover 99% of my requirements from 1Password (provided I know the exact name of the password item).

Get Password

Use it like pass Google and the password for Google will be copied to the clipboard.

      
        pass() {
      
          ITEM_NAME=$1
      
          ITEM=$(op get item $ITEM_NAME --vault Personal 2>&1)
      
          if [[ $ITEM == *"You are not currently signed in"* ]]; then
      
            eval $(op signin my.1password.com)
      
            pass $ITEM_NAME
      
            return
      
          fi
      
          PASSWORD=$(echo $ITEM | jq -r '.details.fields[] | select(.name == "password") | .value')
      
          echo $PASSWORD | xclip -sel clip
      
          echo "Password copied to the clipboard"
      
        }

Get OTP

Use it like otp Github and the one-time password for Github will be copied to the clipboard.

      
        otp() {
      
          ITEM_NAME=$1
      
          TOTP=$(op get totp $ITEM_NAME --vault Personal 2>&1)
      
          if [[ $TOTP == *"You are not currently signed in"* ]]; then
      
            eval $(op signin my.1password.com)
      
            totp $ITEM_NAME
      
            return
      
          fi
      
          echo $TOTP | xclip -sel clip
      
          echo "TOTP copied to the clipboard ($TOTP)"
      
        }

	pass() {
	ITEM_NAME=$1
	ITEM=$(op get item $ITEM_NAME --vault Personal 2>&1)

	if [[ $ITEM == "You are not currently signed in" ]]; then
	eval $(op signin my.1password.com)

	pass $ITEM_NAME

	return
	fi

	PASSWORD=$(echo $ITEM \| jq -r '.details.fields[] \| select(.name == "password") \| .value')

	echo $PASSWORD \| xclip -sel clip
	echo "Password copied to the clipboard"
	}

	otp() {
	ITEM_NAME=$1
	TOTP=$(op get totp $ITEM_NAME --vault Personal 2>&1)

	if [[ $TOTP == "You are not currently signed in" ]]; then
	eval $(op signin my.1password.com)

	totp $ITEM_NAME

	return
	fi

	echo $TOTP \| xclip -sel clip
	echo "TOTP copied to the clipboard ($TOTP)"
	}
