run 1password as root

Hi @ralmeida, thanks for this question!

If possible, it'll be a good to avoid running 1Password as root. Our security model is built with users running regular user permissions (not superuser ones), and the 1Password app itself doing the same thing. While it's possible that might change at some point, that would require additional hardening and to my knowledge that use case isn't something we're currently focusing on.

Is there a reason, for example some part of your workflow, that requires you to run as root in this situation? Feel free to let us know here - and if your response includes any security considerations you'd rather not post in a forum, feel free to follow up with us at support+linux@1password.com and we'll follow up there. 🙂
