Hi! I'm looking for a way to automate routine tasks, like typing a 2fa code every time I connect to VPN.

Right now I'm using a https://github.com/moul/totp-keychain tool for this purpose, but I'm wondering if there is way to get 2fa codes from 1password app / cli directly, instead of relying on a third-party tool?

P.S. Probably my question is not related to "secrets automation" feature, please move it to appropriate section.

    Yes, there are several ways you can do this. You can either use the op item get command with the --otp flag to return the OTP, or you can use the op read command to read a secrets reference with the attribute query parameter. Note that secrets reference attributes are still in beta, so you'll need to be running a beta version of the CLI to use that option.

    Examples:
    op item get ExampleItem --otp
    op read "op://development/GitHub/Security/one-time password?attribute=otp"
