Has anyone here tried writing an AppleScript / Shortcut to do this in the 1PW desktop app?

Here is what ChatGPT 4 suggests:

Creating an AppleScript or a Shortcut to convert all HTTP links to HTTPS in the 1Password macOS desktop app is a complex task that involves interacting with the 1Password app's interface or its data. Unfortunately, 1Password doesn't provide a native AppleScript API, and directly manipulating its data could be risky and potentially compromise the security of your stored information.

However, here are some alternative approaches you could consider:

Certainly, let's delve into each option in more detail:

1. Manual Method

Steps:

1. Backup Data: Before making any changes, backup your 1Password data.
2. Export Data: Open 1Password, go to File > Export > All Items... and choose CSV format.
3. Edit CSV: Open the exported CSV file in a text editor like Sublime Text or a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel.
4. Find and Replace: Use the find and replace function to replace all instances of http:// with https://.
5. Import Data: Go back to 1Password and import the modified CSV via File > Import.

Risks:

• You might accidentally modify other data.
• Importing the data incorrectly could result in data loss or corruption.

2. Using 1Password CLI

Steps:

1. Install CLI: Download and install the 1Password CLI.
2. Authenticate: Authenticate your 1Password account with the CLI.
3. Fetch and Update Items: Use the CLI commands to fetch, modify, and update items.

Sample Script (Pseudo-code):

# Authenticate
op signin my.1password.com

# Fetch all Login items
items=$(op list items --categories Login)

# Loop through each item
for item in $items; do
  # Get item details
  details=$(op get item $item)

  # Replace http with https in details

  # Update the item
  op edit item $item $modified_details
done

Risks:

• A mistake in the script could result in data loss or corruption.

3. Using Keyboard Maestro

Steps:

1. Install Keyboard Maestro: If you haven't already, install Keyboard Maestro.
2. Create Macro: Create a new macro and add actions to automate the UI of 1Password.
3. Test: Test the macro on a small set of data first.

Risks:

• Automating UI interactions can be error-prone and might not work if the UI changes.

Disclaimer: These methods come with risks, especially when dealing with sensitive data like passwords. Always backup your data and test thoroughly before running any script or automation.

Hello @spinoza! 👋

Thanks for the question. There isn't a way to change HTTP links to HTTPS links automatically, 1Password requires that you review and consent to changing the link in each individual item. With 1Password 8 the process is as follows:

1. Open and unlock 1Password 8.
2. Click Watchtower in the sidebar.
3. Click Show Items under Unsecured websites.
4. Click Use HTTPS in the banner inside of items that you wish to change:

Understood. Is there a reason we shouldn't be allowed to select multiple items to upgrade? I still have 300 to do!

I've filed a feature request on your behalf to have our product team look into adding a way to bulk modify unsecured websites. Thank you for the continued feedback to help us make 1Password even better and more useful. 🙂

For now, I suggest that you slowly edit your items individually since I'm not able to say when, or even if, such as a feature would be added to 1Password in the future.
