When using the 1Password integration, iTerm2 only pulls entries from one of the two accounts I have access to. The "op" command shows that it does have access to that secondary account.

If I run 'op item list --tags iTerm2 --format json --account "other-account.1password.com"', I see the desired entries.

Thinking of this some more, there are multiple ways out of this.

  • iTerm2 could query all accounts
  • iTerm2 could let you to specify multiple account names
  • iTerm2 could allow you to flag which account a profile should be used for a given session
  • Other options... ?

I have two 1password accounts. When I enable the 1password integration, I’m asked to choose which to use:


Do you not get this? You can erase the value in Settings > Advanced > 1Password account name to make it ask again.

If that doesn’t do the trick, then we’re getting something funny back from op account list --format=json.

If I clear that "1Password account name" field, I do receive the prompt, but then it is again restricted to just using whatever account I select. I would like to be able to use both accounts.

Thanks, I think this will help. In the long term, please consider making this a per-profile option.
