How to get SSH login prompt unlocks with Debian

Hi,

So I've recently tried Ubuntu Server 22.04 and at the end of the installation, we are prompted if we choose to add a SSH key from GitHub.

If I do this, when I SSH from a Windows PC with 1Password and my SSH key saved, it will prompt up with Windows Hello to unlock - Which is great.

Now, how can I produce the same functionality in Debian? Does anyone have a step of instructions I can follow to setup something similar?


1Password Version: 1Password for Windows 8.9.6 (80906030)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 11 21H2

So is that a headless Ubuntu instance that you're SSH'ing into from your Windows machine? If so, you can enable agent forwarding, using ssh -A or using ForwardAgent yes in your SSH config. That way, you'll get the Windows Hello prompt when you SSH on the Linux machine too.
