Thank you for the suggestion @anthonyangel , this looks like a really cool future plugin! I have assigned you to this issue, as I've noticed you'd be up for building this yourself. However, do let us know if you need any help during the process!

Thanks Andy, I'm struggling to get these plugins to play nicely on my Chromebook (The op CLI and Linux app install and run just fine, but it looks like ChromeOS doesn't make the fingerprint reader available to Linux) so I may well not get round to this any time soon

I was browsing through the documentation for CLI configuration. Interally in terraform, there is a credential helper system. I believe we can take advantage of that, and incorporate 1pass to it.

There is also environment variables we can use as well, but only supported in Terraform v1.2.0 and later.

For example, my use-case use the Terraform Cloud token:
