Cannot enable SSH Agent

I've just installed the SSH Agent as specified under the install documents but am currently unable to enable the agent.

With the OpenSSH Agent disabled and the SSH Beta enabled in the .json, I am not seeing the option to enable as it remains greyed out.

I did not follow the Git setup as Git is not part of our stack/my use case. Is step 2 (Setup Git) required?

1Password Version: 8.6.0

Have you enabled Windows Hello? It's also a requirement for 1Password SSH agent.

Yes, have Windows Hello enabled and actively use it every day.

And you have Windows Hello enabled to unlock 1Password as well? (in the Security pane)

@floris_1P It appears that was the issue. I do not see this step included in the documentation. Did I miss it?

I can start using the SSH beta now, thank you for your assistance.

It was a bit scattered around the docs, but there's now a dedicated section for this.
