Adding/Sign-in to an account via bash script

in CLI

I am trying to add an account through a bash script to do further operations but op account add doesn't have --password flag as an option.

How do I specify the password so that there's no intervention from op account add command to prompt for the password?

    Hi @rollsdevoted:

    Great question. To use 1Password CLI non-interactively, like in a script, you'll need to pipe the password into it.

    For example:

    #add the account
eval $(echo "$PASSWORD" | op account add --address my.1password.com --email "$EMAIL" --secret-key "$SECRET_KEY")
#sign in to the account
eval $(echo "$PASSWORD" | op signin)

    This example uses a very basic way of adding the password, however, and shouldn't be stored directly in the bash script.

    Let me know how you get on with that.

    What is the process when you have an OTP enabled on the account?

    Hello,

    I'd love to hear more about your use case. I would think you would be running commands on an already trusted device, so a OTP wouldn't be required. How are you using the CLI where this would be a requirement?

    Thank you!
