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.
  • Can target a specific account by providing the account_id.
  • 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 2.7.2.
