Ideal 1Password setup
โ
Solved
I'm trying to setup my Clawdbot gateway running on RPi to use 1Password for the credentials management, but before I proceed I'd love to understand what's the best way of doing it in a secure and scalable way. I have a Family plan in 1Password.
Solution
Smart thinking! You're right โ bots shouldn't use personal accounts. Here's what works with Family plans:
1. Create a dedicated email โ even a Gmail alias or catch-all works (e.g.,
2. Invite it to your Family plan โ you'll see it in 1Password under "Family Settings" โ "Invite People"
3. Create a dedicated vault โ something like "Clawdbot" or "Home Automation"
4. Share only that vault โ the bot account gets access to only what it needs, nothing else
- Least privilege โ bot only sees its own credentials
- Isolated โ if compromised, damage is contained
- Revocable โ easy to remove the account later

1. Create a dedicated email โ even a Gmail alias or catch-all works (e.g.,
[email protected][email protected]2. Invite it to your Family plan โ you'll see it in 1Password under "Family Settings" โ "Invite People"
3. Create a dedicated vault โ something like "Clawdbot" or "Home Automation"
4. Share only that vault โ the bot account gets access to only what it needs, nothing else
Why This Works Well
