Pageant Support and winssh-pageant

I'm really happy to be part of this beta program, currently have native \\.\pipe\openssh-ssh-agent windows supporting apps working. But this leaves quite a big gap in functionality on Windows.

I have been using winssh-pageant (https://github.com/ndbeals/winssh-pageant) as a translation layer between the Windows OpenSSH Agent and my Pageant supporting apps for 6 months with great success.

Now with 1password taking ownership of the ssh-agent pipe, if I access any application that uses the Pageant protocol the application freezes and the 1password.exe process goes to 100% single cpu core utilisation.

The 1p process stays at 100% until I quit and restart 1password.

Please advise if this setup is feasible and if there are any debugging details I can take to assist and if Pageant support is on the roadmap.


1Password Version: 8.6.0 (80600026 BETA)
Extension Version: 2.3.0 (BETA)
OS Version: Windows 11

Hey @ndbeals, thanks for stopping by! I think the issue that @smithj was facing was already resolved.
