1Password
Secure credential management
OpenClaw 1Password Integration
Keep your AI workflows secure with 1Password. OpenClaw integrates with the 1Password CLI (op) to inject secrets at runtime ā no hardcoded credentials, no environment variable sprawl.
Setup
Step 1: Install 1Password CLI
# macOSbrew install 1password-cli# Verifyop --versionStep 2: Enable Desktop App Integration
- Open 1Password app
- Settings ā Developer ā "Integrate with 1Password CLI"
- Toggle on
This allows op to authenticate through the desktop app ā no separate auth needed.
Step 3: Configure OpenClaw
integrations: onePassword: enabled: true # Uses system auth (desktop app integration) vault: "Personal" # default vault # Optional: multiple vaults vaults: - "Personal" - "Work" - "Shared Secrets"Step 4: Test
op item listShould list your vault items.
Secret Injection
The core use case: inject 1Password secrets into OpenClaw skills without hardcoding.
In Skills
skills: deploy: env: AWS_ACCESS_KEY: "op://Work/AWS Production/access-key-id" AWS_SECRET: "op://Work/AWS Production/secret-access-key" DB_PASSWORD: "op://Work/Database/password"When the skill runs, OpenClaw fetches secrets from 1Password and injects them as environment variables. Secrets never touch disk.
In Config
Reference 1Password items directly in your OpenClaw config:
channels: telegram: token: "op://Personal/OpenClaw Bot/token"Natural Language Access
What's in my Work vault?ā 47 items: AWS credentials, Database passwords, API keys...Get the staging database passwordā [copied to clipboard, not shown in chat]Create a new password for: ProjectX API Keyā Generated 32-char password, saved to Work vault āUse Cases
- Deployment secrets: Inject credentials at deploy time
- API key management: Reference keys by name, not value
- Team sharing: Share secrets via 1Password without exposing values
- Rotation: Update secrets in one place, everywhere auto-refreshes
Troubleshooting
op not authenticated?
Run op signin or enable Desktop App Integration in 1Password settings.
Secret not found?
Check vault name and item name are exact (case-sensitive). Use op item list to verify.
Permission denied? Some vaults require separate authentication. Check vault permissions in 1Password admin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my passwords be visible in chat?
No. Secrets are used behind the scenes. Your assistant can use them without displaying them in messages.

No, personal 1Password accounts work fine. Teams/Business add features like shared vaults.
How is this different from storing secrets in config?
1Password provides encryption, access control, audit logs, and easy rotation. Config files are just text.
Can it create or modify secrets?
Yes, the op CLI supports creating and editing items. Your assistant can manage secrets programmatically.
