This feature is only available as part of the Unlock with Microsoft beta.
If your 1Password administrator has configured Unlock with SSO, you can sign in to 1Password CLI with Microsoft. During the beta period, Unlock with SSO will be available only for Microsoft using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol. Additional platforms, identity providers, and protocols will be available in the future. If the 1Password account you sign in to with Microsoft doesn’t allow biometric unlock, you’ll be prompted to allow 1Password CLI access to the 1Password app when you sign in.

​

  1. Join your team, or switch to unlock with Microsoft.
  2. Install the nightly release of 1Password for Mac, Windows, or Linux.
  3. Sign in to 1Password for Mac, Windows, or Linux using Microsoft.

  2. Select your account or collection at the top of the sidebar.
  3. Navigate to Settings > Developer.
  4. Select Integrate with 1Password CLI.
  5. If you want to authenticate 1Password CLI with your fingerprint, turn on Touch ID in the app.
