OnePassword python client

Python client around the 1Password password manager cli for usage within python code and Jupyter Notebooks. Developed by Data Scientists from Jamf.

Warning: this client is for use with 1Password 7 and earlier. For 1Password 8 there is a different CLI2, which we have not yet fully tested within this client. Feel free to attempt to use a higher version of the cli or this client with 1Password 8 and submit PRs to fix issues.

Installation

pip install 1password

If you have issues with PyYaml or other distutils installed packages then use:

pip install --ignore-installed 1password

You are welcome to install and manage op yourself by visiting the CLI1 downloads page to download the version you require and follow instructions for your platform.

The above commands will check op is present already and if not will install the best op cli it can work out plus the python client itself. This is currently fixed at op version 1.12.5 to ensure compatibility. If you wish to use a higher version of op you can by following this guide, however note that we cannot ensure it will work with our client yet.

MacOS users will be prompted with a separate installation window to ensure you have a signed version of op - make sure to check other desktops that the installer might pop up on.

Optional pre-requisites

base32

This utility is used to create a unique guid for your device but this isn't a hard requirement from AgileBits and so if you see base32: command not found an empty string will be used instead, and the client will still work fully.

If you really want to, you can make sure you have this installed by installing coreutils. Details per platform can be found here: https://command-not-found.com/base32

Basic Usage

Currently tested on MacOS and Linux.

On first usage users will be asked for both the enrolled email, secret key and password. There is also verification of your account domain and name.

For all following usages you will only be asked for a password.

You will be given 3 attempts and then pointed to reset password documentation or alternatively you can restart your kernel.

No passwords are stored in memory without encryption.

If you have 2FA turned on for your 1Password account the client will ask for your six digit authenticator code.

from onepassword import OnePassword
import json

op = OnePassword()

# List all vaults 
json.loads(op.list_vaults())

# List all items in a vault, default is Private
op.list_items()

# Get all fields, one field or more fields for an item with uuid="example"
op.get_item(uuid="example")
op.get_item(uuid="example", fields="username")
op.get_item(uuid="example", fields=["username", "password"])

Input formats

To be sure what you are using is of the right format

• Enrolled email: standard email format e.g. [email protected]
• Secret key: provided by 1Password e.g. ##-######-######-#####-#####-#####-#####
• Account domain: domain that you would login to 1Password via browser e.g. example.1password.com
• Account name: subdomain or account name that cli can use for multiple account holders e.g. example

Contributing

The GitHub action will run a full build, test and release on any push. If this is to the main branch then this will release to public PyPi and bump the patch version.

For a major or minor branch update your new branch should include this new version and this should be verified by the code owners.

In general, this means when contributing you should create a feature branch off of the main branch and without manually bumping the version you can focus on development.

CLI coverage

Full op documentation can be found here: https://support.1password.com/command-line-reference/

The below is correct as of version 0.3.0.

  • document
  • item
• list: List objects and events
