SSH login

gregmtl

I see many user posts referring to this article:
https://support.1password.com/ssh-logins/

But when I go there, I get a 404 error page.

How can I use 1Password to login to SSH via terminal?

Hi @gregmtl,

Thanks for reporting this missing article. It's been removed and we haven't quite found a new home for it and similar information. Here's basically what it looked like:

You can add your SSH accounts to 1Password and launch Terminal automatically.

• Edit a Login item and set its website field to ssh://user@hostname.
• Save the item, and the field becomes a link.

• Click the link to launch your SSH session.

  

You can also launch those sessions from 1Password mini in addition to the main app.

Hope that's helpful. :)

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find a solution using iTerm2 and sudolikeaboss. In case it helps anyone, here were my steps:

Install iTerm2
https://www.iterm2.com/downloads.html

Install sudolikeaboss

• Download beta version from here: https://github.com/ravenac95/sudolikeaboss/files/615148/sudolikeaboss_0.3.0-beta1_darwin_amd64.zip
• This is to avoid 1Password update error: https://github.com/ravenac95/sudolikeaboss/issues/29#issuecomment-263157412
• Copy "sudolikeaboss" into /usr/local/bin
• In terminal, type sudolikeaboss register
• 1Password will open up a window asking for a confirmation. Click to accept.
• Go to 1Password > Preferences > Advanced and uncheck "Verify browser code signature"

Add server to iTerm2

• In 1Password, add the server password and include sudolikeaboss://local as one of the URLs
• Go to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles
• Click + to add a new profile
• In the General tab, give it a name
• Select Command and enter the SSH login command
• Give a shortcut to launch that profile
• Go to the Keys tab, click + and choose the following:
  • Keyboard Shortcut: ⌘\ (the usual 1Password shortcut)
  • Action: Run Coprocess
  • Enter the file path: /usr/local/bin/sudolikeaboss

Now when you load that profile in iTerm2 it will automatically enter your SSH command, and when you hit ⌘\ it will open the 1Password dialog for you to choose the password to enter.

Sudolikeaboss is definitely neat. It's not an officially supported solution from us though. Any issues encountered with it should be reported to that team.
