Resources
We're thrilled that you're interested in participating in our June 1Password Hackathon hosted by Hashnode, and we look forward to seeing what you build. Here are some resources to help get you started:
For the Hackathon event, we're challenging you to build with or on top of these products:
Get Started with 1Password
Take me therePassage by 1Password
The easiest way to implement passwordless authentication in your app or website.
1Password Shell Plugins
Eliminate API access keys stored on disc and securely authenticate any CLI with your fingerprint, Apple Watch, or other biometrics.
1Password CLI
Build on top of our CLI to automate administrative tasks, securely provision secrets across development environments, and use biometrics to authenticate in the terminal.
For Shell Plugins and 1Password CLI, you'll need to access 1Password 8 and install the CLI.
Install now
For Hackathon participants, you'll have a 2 month trial of 1Password (which includes Developer Tools) for new customers.
Inspiration for your hackathon project
Passage by 1Password
Passage is a passwordless authentication service that enables you to add passkey support to your website or app with just a few lines of code. We'd love to see entries that make use of Passage across multiple platforms, or that extend Passage to other developer tools such as Supabase.
To get going, see the Passage Quickstart guide. Also on the Passage Docs site, you'll see SDKs for Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go and more. Lastly, there are sample apps on GitHub that will provide you with inspiration as you build your solution.
Example projects
These Shell Plugins have been written by the community and are some of our favorites.
1Password Shell Plugins
Shell Plugins allow developers to store API access tokens in 1Password, then sign in to CLIs in their terminal using biometrics. We'd love to see new Shell Plugins contributed via the open source community project.
To write your Shell Plugin, please visit our Contributing page for resources including a Shell Plugin template, plugin examples and requirements to begin. You can also view the video below as Amanda, from our team, demonstrates how to build a Shell Plugin from scratch in under ten minutes.
Video: Write a 1Password Shell Plugin in less than 10 minutes
Please note that Shell Plugins must be written in Go. We've had 3 external contributors learn Go as a part of their project. If you have questions or issues, we're happy to help including peer programming sessions and support via the Hashnode Discord and the 1Password Developer Slack community.
Example projects
These Shell Plugins have been written by the community and are some of our favorites.
1Password CLI
With the 1Password CLI, developers can quickly access secrets stored in 1Password directly in their workflows. We'd love to see examples of scripts that automate common workflows, and other creative uses of the CLI.
Check out the 1Password CLI Quick Start guide where you'll find instructions to install via Homebrew or manually, the ability to opt into beta access and basic commands you can try.
Example projects
1Password CLI powers some great apps and integrations that enable developers to avoid keeping secrets in plaintext. Here are a few of our favorite community-built apps:
