You can install 1Password CLI from one of the following packages for your Linux distribution:
- Alpine
Add the key for the 1Password Apt repository:
curl -sS https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc | \sudo gpg --dearmor --output /usr/share/keyrings/1password-archive-keyring.gpgAdd the 1Password Apt repository:
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/1password-archive-keyring.gpg] https://downloads.1password.com/linux/debian/$(dpkg --print-architecture) stable main" |sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/1password.listAdd the debsig-verify policy:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/debsig/policies/AC2D62742012EA22/curl -sS https://downloads.1password.com/linux/debian/debsig/1password.pol | \sudo tee /etc/debsig/policies/AC2D62742012EA22/1password.polsudo mkdir -p /usr/share/debsig/keyrings/AC2D62742012EA22curl -sS https://downloads.1password.com/linux/keys/1password.asc | \sudo gpg --dearmor --output /usr/share/debsig/keyrings/AC2D62742012EA22/debsig.gpgInstall 1Password CLI:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install 1password-cliCheck that 1Password CLI was installed successfully:
op --version
Alternatively, download the latest 1Password CLI .deb
package directly from one of the following links:
Beta builds
To download 1Password CLI beta builds, navigate to our downloads page and select "Show betas". On Linux, you can switch the channel from "stable" to "beta" when adding the 1Password repository in your package manager.
Sign in
1Password CLI integrates with the 1Password 8 desktop app so you can sign in on the command line with the accounts you've added to the 1Password app. Then you can authenticate your accounts with your fingerprint, face, Windows Hello PIN, Apple Watch, or device user password.
If you don't want to use 1Password CLI with the 1Password desktop app, or if you're using 1Password 7, learn how to sign in to your 1Password account manually instead.
- Windows
- Linux
If you downloaded 1Password CLI directly, rather than using the .deb
or .rpm
installers, do the following:
Create the
onepassword-cli
group if it doesn't yet exist:sudo groupadd onepassword-cliSet the correct permissions on the
op
binary:sudo chown root:onepassword-cli /usr/local/bin/op && \sudo chmod g+s /usr/local/bin/op
Step 1: Turn on system authentication
To authenticate 1Password CLI with biometrics or your device user password, turn on system authentication in the 1Password 8 desktop app:
- Open and unlock the app.
- Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.
- Navigate to Settings > Security.
- Select "Unlock using system authentication service".
You'll be prompted to unlock 1Password CLI the same way you sign in to your Linux user account. To change to a different authentication method, adjust your system settings.

Step 2: Connect 1Password CLI with the 1Password desktop app
To sign in to 1Password CLI with the accounts you've added to the 1Password desktop app, navigate to Settings > Developer and select "Connect with 1Password CLI".

Step 3: Sign in to your account
Enter op signin
to select an account to sign in to. Use the arrow keys to select an account, then hit enter. You'll be prompted to authenticate.
To sign in to a different account, enter op signin
again. You can also specify an account to sign in to with the --account
flag or by setting the OP_ACCOUNT
environment variable.

Usage
1Password CLI uses a noun-verb command structure that groups commands by topic rather than by operation.
The basic structure of a command starts with the 1Password program op
, then the command name (noun), often followed by a subcommand (verb), then flags (which include additional information that gets passed to the command).
For example, to retrieve a list of all the items in your Private vault:
To get a list of all global commands and flags, run the following:
And to see the subcommands available for each command, use:
Basic commands
You can use 1Password CLI to work with items, users, vaults, and secrets.
Items
To get information about an item:
You'll see the item's ID, title, vault, when it was created, when it was last modified, the item's version, if it's marked as a favorite, the type of item it is, and the item's fields.
If an item name includes spaces or special characters, enclose it in quotes. For example:
To use op item get
to retrieve specific fields, include the --fields
flag followed by a comma-separated list, with the prefix label=
before each field name. For example, to only retrieve the username and password for the item work email

Users and groups
To get details about a user:
To list the users who belong to a group:
Learn more about working with users and groups.
Vaults
To create a new vault named Test
:
To get details about an existing vault:
To list the vaults in an account:
Learn more about working with vaults.
Secrets
To insert a secret into an environment variable, config file, or script without putting the plaintext secret in code, use a secret reference that specifies where the secret is stored in your 1Password account:
Then, you can use op read
, op run
, or op inject
to replace the secret reference with the actual secret at runtime.
To resolve a secret reference and confirm it outputs correctly:
Learn more about loading secrets.
Read the full reference documentation to learn about more advanced use cases.
Unique identifiers (IDs)
When you retrieve information about objects using the get
and list
subcommands, you'll see a string of numbers and letters that make up the objects's unique identifier (ID).
You can use names or IDs in commands that take any account, user, vault, or item as an argument.
IDs never change, so you can be sure you’re always referring to the same object. Commands provided with an ID are also faster and more efficient.
To get the ID for the item Netflix
:
To get the IDs for all vaults in an account:
Shell completion
You can add shell completion so that 1Password CLI automatically completes your commands.
With shell completion enabled, start typing an op
command, then press Tab to see the available commands and options.
- PowerShell
To enable shell completion with Bash:
Install the bash-completion package
Add this line to your
.bashrc
file:source <(op completion bash)
Learn more about shell completion.
