A Guide to Integrating 1Password with Walker

[pomartel]

1Password Quick Access can be unreliable under Omarchy and Hyprland, so I decided to try integrating 1Password with Walker instead. The process was slightly more involved than expected, so here is a short guide that may help others.

Install and configure the 1Password CLI

Walker requires the 1Password CLI. Install it using Yay:

yay -S 1password-cli

Next, authenticate with your 1Password account. Running any op command will prompt a login:

op item list

Enter your URL, email, and secret key. These are available in your 1Password account settings at https://my.1password.com/. The URL is typically:

https://my.1password.com/

After signing in, running the same command again should list your 1Password items.

Then open the 1Password desktop app, go to Settings → Development, and enable Integrate with 1Password CLI.

Install and configure the Elephant data provider

Walker uses Elephant as its backend to retrieve 1Password entries. Elephant is included with Omarchy, but you must install the 1Password data provider:

yay -S elephant-1password

By default, Elephant queries a vault named personal. If you use different vaults, create or edit ~/.config/elephant/1password.toml :

with a list of your vault names:

vaults = ["Private", "Family"]

Replace these with the actual names of your 1Password vaults.

Configure a Walker prefix

To quickly access your passwords in Walker, assign a prefix character. I initially tried #, but it didn’t work, so I switched to *, which isn’t used by any other provider.

Add this section to the bottom of ~/.config/walker/config.toml :

[[providers.prefixes]]
prefix = "*"
provider = "1password"

Apply the changes by restarting Walker via this Omarchy command:

omarchy-restart-walker

Now open Walker with SUPER+SPACE, type your prefix (e.g., *), and you should see a list of logins. Select an entry and use the following shortcuts:

• ENTER: copy the password
• SHIFT+ENTER: copy the username
• CTRL+ENTER: copy the OTP (one-time password)

Your 1Password vaults should now be fully accessible through Walker!
