We’ll skip to that last step here.Īnd you should get this interface to add your authtoken to the vault: There's a guide to the 1Password CLI integration for the detailed steps but at the highest levels, we have to install the 1Password app, install the 1Password CLI, connect the two, and then initialize the ngrok plugin. Setting up the 1Password ngrok shell plugin I can seamlessly move between my work and personal laptops - and even reset my authtoken - without having to update it in each location. Not only does this make my demos safer but it keeps credentials synchronized between machines without messaging myself or having to setup my environment twice. Then when you run the familiar: ngrok http 80 you authenticate into your 1Password vault, choose the authtoken you need, and the shell plugin loads the authtoken into memory for you.

With the 1Password ngrok shell plugin, instead of keeping your ngrok credentials in a local ngrok.yml file, you store them in 1Password. While editing my ngrok.yml file each time was an approach, it was manual, annoying, and required having my credentials on screen which made for risky demos. Either way, I end up with the problem of juggling multiple credentials in my local environment. More importantly, I’ve started using our Bot Users capabilities to have separate projects within the same account.

As a longtime ngrok user, I have a couple different accounts for different projects.
