Any way to quickly paste a user password into an ssh session?
I work with a lot of cloud servers. I ssh into them using authorized keys, so I don’t have to type a password. But then I often have to sudo commands, and that requires I type the current user’s password (that is, the password of the user on the remote machine).
The macOS terminal window title contains (among other things) <localuser> — ssh <remotehost> or <localuser> — ssh <remoteuser>@<remotehost> if a different user was used for the ssh session. 1Password should be able to extract that information to determine which user password to then paste into the terminal window when I sudo something.
That would be awesome.
Note: with appropriate xterm configuration on the remote side, this would even work if I'm sudoed to another user on the remote host.

LOL it looks like this isn't the first time I've wanted this. But I'm 99% sure it's possible: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/22007/feature-request-enter-password-into-terminal-app

Not sure that’s much easier than clicking on the password and pasting, What sucks is finding the password. I almost always have to search for it.

For your specific use case (terminal) could you use AppleScript along with the new 1Password CLI tool? I haven't tried it yet, and don't think it works with local vaults anyway.
I'm chiming in just because I'm also looking/hoping/suggesting 1Password put some efforts towards improving it's interaction in macOS outside of a web browser!
