Exporting encrypted ssh key not usable

Hi guys,

I tried to export an encrypted ssh key, which I generated in 1Password and use this in my SSH Client tool of choice (Server Cat or WebSSH) but the key is not usable, as I get the error "Error parsing private key".
If I copy or download the unencrypted key it works fine.

I do not think this is the way it should behave.

Could you look into it, or let me know how I can do it better?


1Password Version: 8.10.23
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 14.3.1

This is still broken in 2025.
