Right now I can access 1Password on my WSL Debian installation using the CLI. But I have to enter my master password even when Windows is authenticated. I was just curious if it's possible to connect the two (a-la the SSH agent forwarding magic outlined here - https://1password.community/discussion/128023/ssh-agent-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux) 1Password Version: Not Provided Extension Version: Not Provided OS Version: Not Provided Browser:_ Not Provided

Hi anishlr: There currently isn't any way of connecting 1Password CLI running in Windows Subsystem for Linux to 1Password for Windows running on the host. 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. Jack ref: IDEA-I-1662

Just to add to the list of people, that is something I wish for as well.

This would be huge. I have currently adopted @matfax's solution, which works. I haven't used any CLI plugins yet. But generally, I think having a turnkey solution for WSL would be really useful.

I have a solution for Windows 11 WSL2! Please let other people know if this solution does not work for you. 1. Open CMD and "winget install 1password-cli" or go to 1password docs and figure out how to install the WINDOWS version of 1password cli. 2. If you installed with winget, you should be able to navigate to "C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Packages<1password_cli_package_id>\op.exe" 3. if you did not use winget, navigate to the executable of the cli program 4. add this to your ~/.bashrc file in wsl: alias op="/mnt/c/Users/........./op.exe" Magic!

I would be very interested in this feature as well! Especially with the shell plugins recently introduced, that would be a great combination of being able to connect to GitLab from my WSL shell using Hello authentication.

Is it possible for 1Password CLI running on WSL to connect with 1Password hosted on Windows?

Btw, here's a new solution that doesn't depend on a separate sudoauth alias.

Github Gist: Sudo authentication with Windows 1Password CLI on Ubuntu WSL

The howto script is not meant for automatic execution, just as a guideline. It's best if you just edit the respective files manually, and don't forget substituting your own item identity.

I have been using the hackish solution for ssh agent and it's a breeze. Would love seeing the full 1Password CLI working on WSL.

+1 Would love to see this as well. Seeing that 1Pass has other developer friendly features i.e the VSCode extension, secrets and ssh-agent (while unofficially supported, can be utilised in WSL) to name what first comes to mind, I think this would be a fantastic addition to the toolkit! 😊

I'm also interested. Using AWS CLI with 1Pass would be great.
Thanks
