Excessive SSH Key Requests

I really like the SSH key feature. Since some of my apps will try to make github connections using my SSH key in the background even when I'm not actively in front of my computer, I am frequently encountering the very frustrating problem of having to dismiss dozens of dialogs asking to allow for SSH key access when I return.

It is very likely that I would stop using this feature if this isn't addressed somehow.

Thanks!

@achimnol Thanks for reporting the crash! We will look into it.

Hey, I just got another stack of these today. I'm running 8.8.0 (80800126)

Thanks for reporting, @alihamze! Please update to the latest nightly (80800142), the issue should already be fixed.

Hey, I'm running on 80800143 and it's still occurring https://share.cleanshot.com/NJ6TZ1SjTlNfQohN55vM

Is there any way I can help debug this? Not sure what logs I can safely submit (without leaking any info) that would help here

I recently set the SSH_AUTH_SOCK env variable to be able to use the ssh agent with Dolphin (the KDE file manager) and the remotes feature but it seems I am getting requests from /usr/lib/kf5/kioslave5 multiple times per every folder navigation. Is there something preventing you from simply remembering the authorization per application for some amount of time?
I am also running on version 80800143.

I'm running 80800156 and for me it's also still occurring, especially with the Tower git application, sometimes only one or a few, sometimes more than ten requests. Maybe it's something to do with Tower requesting the key for fetching in the background while the Mac is locked (the longer since I locked the Mac, the more of these requests I see).

@alihamze @krbr Thanks for reporting this! It turns out there was another underlying issue that caused excessive prompting. It should be fixed in the latest nightly release. Please let us know if you still encounter it.

@tonkku107 Thanks for reporting. Could you tell us what operating system (and what which version) you are using?

I'm running 80800177 (Nightly) on Windows 11 and 1Password still prompts me every single time when the JetBrains IDE WebStorm tries to use the SSH Key.
