View Item UUID from UI

Matt57

Within the Windows application for 1Password is there a way to view the UUID of an item? I ask because I'm attempting to use the CLI tool where you can search by UUID or Name. Names can change so it's not the most reliable way to search. It doesn't look like 1Password keeps a history of item names either. This means the only real way to search for an item via the CLI is using the UUID. Is there a way to get the UUID from the front-end UI?

Hi @Matt57 👋

While there's no way to explicitly grab the just UUID's from within the UI, what you can do is use the "Copy Link" button, and then from there you can pull the Vault/Item UUID from the copied URL.

Whenever you've copied the link to your item, your URL should look something like the one shown below.

https://start.1password.com/open/i?a=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&v=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&i=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&h=my.1password.com

From here, everything after a= to the & is your Account UUID, v= to & being your Vault UUID, and finally everything from i= to & is the Item UUID.

I hope this helps!
