OnePasswordBash

A very simple bash function that helps find passwords using the 1Password CLI.

(This recording was made with terminalizer)

Usage

opp Github

If there is a single match for 'Github', the password will be copied to the clipboard. If no clipboard utility is found, the raw password can be displayed by using an explicit flag:

opp Github --reveal

NOTE: If the --reveal flag is used, it disables clipboard functionality entirely and displays the raw password instead.

You can also extract TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) codes:

opp Github --totp

This will copy the TOTP code to the clipboard, just like passwords.

If there are no matches, this is reported as an error.

If multiple matches are found, the items are provided as an indexed list. Use the index to get the specific item:

opp Github 2

An item can also be fetched with its full content:

opp Github 2 --raw

Or for a single match:

opp Github --raw

This will provide the item in JSON format.

You can also get TOTP codes from indexed matches:

opp Github 2 --totp
