CLI authorization expiry

nferch

On https://developer.1password.com/docs/cli/app-integration-security/ it states that "Authorization expires after 10 minutes of inactivity in the terminal session."

Are there any plans to make this configurable?

Hello @nferch

There currently isn't any way of changing or managing the 1Password CLI authorization time. With that said, it's something I'd love to see too, so I'll share your feedback on an internal discussion we have about this. While I can't promise anything specifically, we use feedback like yours to help inform the future of 1Password.

Hi @eli.s_1P thanks for the update!

One piece of context you might find useful is that running the CLI in a terminal multiplexer such as tmux can be particularly tedious because the session is tied to the TTY. This means that every window or pane that uses the CLI needs to authorize separately.

It looks like it might be possible to work around this by wrapping the CLI and associating the invocations from different tmux windows and panes with a single TTY, but there's likely a better possible solution.
