In this video, I explain why you need to use a password manager and how to get started with 1Password. To read more, check out my blogpost: https://paulm.in/. As a result of growth in the US markets, 1Password is now required to register and collect sales taxes in various states across the US. 1Password collects tax based on your address, regardless of which currency you pay in.
With a Secrets Automation workflow, you can securely access your 1Password items and vaults in your company’s apps and cloud infrastructure using a private REST API provided by a 1Password Connect server.
You can set up Secrets Automation if you’re a family organizer, owner, administrator, or you belong to a group with permission to manage Secrets Automation.
Before you get started, you’ll need a deployment environment with Docker or Kubernetes to deploy the Connect server.
Step 1: Set up a Secrets Automation workflow
To get started, set up a Secrets Automation workflow and get your Connect server credentials and first access token. Click Get Started, sign in to your 1Password account, and follow the onscreen instructions.
After you complete the setup process, you’ll see:
- Your 1password-credentials.json file. It contains the credentials you’ll need to deploy the Connect server.
- An access token. You’ll use this in your applications or services to authenticate with the REST API. You can issue additional tokens later.
