My mfa otp works fine on the GUI client but no the cli

Noella

I have an mfa setup for an AWS account and this works perfectly fine on the GUI.

However if I try and get my otp through the 1password cli I keep getting this error

op get totp AWS
[ERROR] 2021/12/02 22:48:23 Item AWS does not contain a one-time password

For what its worth I am able to access the item json itself and individual fields like my password using --fields password through the CLI without a problem.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi @Noella!

As far as I know, all CLI commands needs the item UUID, not its name. Can you try using the UUID and see if you still get the error message?

Noella

Hey @ag_ana, Thanks for the reply! I just tried that and I see the same behavior.

op get totp [uuid]
[ERROR] 2021/12/03 23:58:09 Item [uuid] does not contain a one-time password

And again

op get item [uuid]

returns the json as expected

Hi @Noella,

When you retrieve the item using op get item [uuid] , does the json contain a field where the "t" field is "t": "one-time password", and the "n" field has the prefix "TOTP_"?

This is how the CLI looks for the TOTP field when you call op get totp.

Looking forward to hearing back,

Artem

Aha! It appears there might be two 'entries' for the field somehow and maybe the bad ones getting picked up..

"sections": [
{
"name": "linked items",
"title": "Related Items"
},
{
"fields": [
{
"k": "concealed",
"n": "TOTP_7891E0D72B4D4AC3AB5ED886502005D2",
"t": "",
"v": ""
}
],
"name": "Section_96AAD171D36149E4BA225A2083E2C397",
"title": ""
},
{
"name": "Section_94B38591D3944DA998C2C21BD22B4E5F",
"title": ""
},
{
"fields": [
{
"k": "concealed",
"n": "TOTP_E078830575474EF0AA35A3605DF1D285",
"t": "one-time password",
"v": "otpauth://totp/Amazon%20Web%20Services .."
}
],

Just to close the loop on this! After I deleted and recreated the physical entry for this login in 1password I'm getting the OTP fine. Thanks for all your help!
