Hi LuisG! 👋

The sign-in flow for 1Password CLI 2 works differently than version 1. In version 2, op signin signs you in to 1Password CLI using the 1Password desktop app integration. This allows you to use biometric unlock with the CLI.

If you still want to use a manual authentication flow like in version 1, this article explains how to do that. You can set a shorthand for an account with op account add --shorthand <shorthand> then sign in with the following command:


eval $(op signin --account <shorthand>)

Let me know if that helps!

Also, could I ask what documentation you were referring to? I'd love to update the docs to make this more clear.
