# Uninstall shell plugins

[1Password Shell Plugins](/cli/shell-plugins/) are built so you can stop using them at any time.

* If you want to [reset a shell plugin configuration](#clear-your-default-credentials-for-a-plugin), you can clear your default credentials.
* If you want to [temporarily stop using a shell plugin](#temporarily-stop-using-a-shell-plugin), you can run `unalias <plugin-executable>` or remove the alias for its executable from your `plugins.sh` file.
* If you want to [temporarily stop using all shell plugins](#temporarily-stop-using-all-shell-plugins), you can remove the command to source the `plugins.sh` file from your shell profile.
* And if you want to [completely uninstall shell plugins](#completely-stop-using-shell-plugins), you can do that too.

## Clear your default credentials for a plugin

If you want to remove your default credentials for a shell plugin:

```shell theme={null}
op plugin clear <plugin-executable>
```

Credentials will be removed in this order:

1. Terminal session default
2. Directory default, from the current directory to `$HOME`
3. Global default

To remove all the credentials you've configured for a shell plugin at the same time:

```shell theme={null}
op plugin clear <plugin-executable> --all
```

## Temporarily stop using a shell plugin

If you want to stop using a shell plugin for the current terminal session, run:

```
unalias <plugin-executable>
```

If you want to temporarily stop using a plugin for a longer period of time, you can remove its alias from your `plugins.sh` file. Then 1Password CLI will no longer handle authentication when you use the third-party CLI.

1. Open your [`plugins.sh` file](#if-you-cant-find-your-pluginssh-file) file.
2. Remove the alias for the plugin you want to stop using. For example, `alias aws="op plugin run -- aws"`.
3. Save the file.
4. Open a new terminal window or source your shell profile for the change to go into effect.

You can add the alias back to the file at any time to continue using the shell plugin with your current setup.

## Temporarily stop using all shell plugins

If you want to temporarily stop using shell plugins without losing your configurations, you can remove the command to source the `plugins.sh` file from your shell profile.

1. Open your shell profile.

2. Remove the line that looks like this. Your [`plugins.sh` file path](#if-you-cant-find-your-pluginssh-file) may vary.

   ```shell theme={null}
   source ~/.config/op/plugins.sh
   ```

3. Open a new terminal session or source your shell profile for the change to go into effect.

1Password will no longer prompt you to authenticate for any third-party CLI.

## Completely stop using shell plugins

To completely stop using shell plugins and remove all information about your configurations:

1. [Clear the default credentials](#clear-your-default-credentials-for-a-plugin) for each of your plugins.
2. [Remove the command to source the `plugins.sh` file](#temporarily-stop-using-all-shell-plugins) from your shell profile.
3. Delete the [`plugins.sh` file](#if-you-cant-find-your-pluginssh-file) and the `plugins` folder within your `op` directory.
4. If you configured any directory-specific defaults, remove the `.op` folder from those directories.

The file path for your `plugins.sh` file may vary depending on your [configuration directory](/cli/config-directories/). Common locations include:

* `~/.op/plugins.sh`
