Summary

1Password has partnered with Twilio to bring a smoother login experience for developers using the Twilio CLI by integrating fingerprint biometrics and system authentication into the 1Password Shell Plugin. This plugin allows users to securely authenticate their credentials without manually typing them in the terminal, making it easier to manage complex projects. The plugin is currently available for Mac/Linux users and supports Bash and Zsh shells. To get started, developers need a free or paid Twilio account, install the latest version of the Twilio CLI, and add their 1Password Account to the app. They can then configure default credentials, import or select existing credentials, and source the plugins.sh file to make the plugin available. The plugin uses 1Password's authentication mechanism to inject environment variables with the required credentials directly from the user's 1Password account. This integration provides a more seamless experience for developers working with Twilio, allowing them to focus on building their projects without worrying about authentication.
