Terms

Parameter

Comments

Terms

string / required

identifier(s) (UUID, name, or subdomain; case-insensitive) of item(s) to retrieve.

Keyword parameters

This describes keyword parameters of the lookup. These are the values key1=value1, key2=value2 and so on in the following examples: lookup('community.general.onepassword', key1=value1, key2=value2, ...) and query('community.general.onepassword', key1=value1, key2=value2, ...)

Parameter

Comments

domain

string

added in community.general 3.2.0

Domain of 1Password. Default is 1password.com.

Default: "1password.com"

field

string

field to return from each matching item (case-insensitive).

Default: "password"

master_password

aliases: vault_password

string

The password used to unlock the specified vault.

secret_key

string

The secret key used when performing an initial sign in.

section

string

Item section containing the field to retrieve (case-insensitive). If absent will return first match from any section.

username

string

The username used to sign in.

vault

string

Vault containing the item to retrieve (case-insensitive). If absent will search all vaults.

Notes

Note

  • When keyword and positional parameters are used together, positional parameters must be listed before keyword parameters: lookup('community.general.onepassword', term1, term2, key1=value1, key2=value2) and query('community.general.onepassword', term1, term2, key1=value1, key2=value2)

  • This lookup will use an existing 1Password session if one exists. If not, and you have already performed an initial sign in (meaning ~/.op/config, ~/.config/op/config or ~/.config/.op/config exists), then only the master_password is required. You may optionally specify subdomain in this scenario, otherwise the last used subdomain will be used by op.

  • This lookup can perform an initial login by providing subdomain, username, secret_key, and master_password.

  • Due to the very sensitive nature of these credentials, it is highly recommended that you only pass in the minimal credentials needed at any given time. Also, store these credentials in an Ansible Vault using a key that is equal to or greater in strength to the 1Password master password.

  • This lookup stores potentially sensitive data from 1Password as Ansible facts. Facts are subject to caching if enabled, which means this data could be stored in clear text on disk or in a database.

  • Tested with op version 0.5.3

Examples

# These examples only work when already signed in to 1Password
- name: Retrieve password for KITT when already signed in to 1Password
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: lookup('community.general.onepassword', 'KITT')

- name: Retrieve password for Wintermute when already signed in to 1Password
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: lookup('community.general.onepassword', 'Tessier-Ashpool', section='Wintermute')

- name: Retrieve username for HAL when already signed in to 1Password
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: lookup('community.general.onepassword', 'HAL 9000', field='username', vault='Discovery')

- name: Retrieve password for HAL when not signed in to 1Password
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: lookup('community.general.onepassword'
                'HAL 9000'
                subdomain='Discovery'
                master_password=vault_master_password)

- name: Retrieve password for HAL when never signed in to 1Password
  ansible.builtin.debug:
    var: lookup('community.general.onepassword'
                'HAL 9000'
                subdomain='Discovery'
                master_password=vault_master_password

Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
