my intelliJ app has Git Toolbox plugin which checks git via SSH every 10 minutes. Due to this, I continuously get 1Password 8 on macOS asking if I want to allow this PHPStorm to access the SSH key.
Can you please add an option to remember the setting? Otherwise I need to revert moving to the 1password 8 SSH agent.


1Password Version: 8.9.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS

2.25 years now with the same request, lots of auto-bots saying they've passed along our feedback but nothing has changed.

I believe "Approve for all applications" appearing as a checkbox when access requested is non-sensical.

The 1Password Developer settings has you explicitly set whether you should "ask approval for each new application", or even a higher security posture, "ask for each new application and terminal session". There's no option to approve for all applications. 

Taking a step back, a user wishing to approve for all applications wouldn't turn on the SSH agent at all since they would just leave ~/.ssh on disk. So it's a vector for a security leak if someone clicks there. 

If a popup shows up with an application (in my case, the IDE) requiring access, then "Always approve for this application" is expected. But surprisingly that doesn't seem to be a possibility. Unfortunately it doesn't seem possible to have the IDE process launching terminal windows to use a fixed process ID if that's what 1P is using to determine whether something constitutes a new application which approval is already granted for.

Hey 1Password team, this is indeed an issue.

What would best fix it is to simply have an "Always approve for this application" button. That should be quite a simple fix. In my case, I always have to approve for VS Code. You already have an "Always approve" button, but that simply skips all approvals.

I found this old thread because I've been going insane trying to use 1Password to manage my github credentials.  In the era of Claude running a bunch of gh commands in a row, I'm stuck dealing with popup after popup just to allow the AI agent to do its job.  I'm about to bail on 1password CLI (or at least the plugins), since it requires an unreasonable amount of approvals.

What I don't understand is why my setting of "Remember key approval" setting is being totally ignored when it comes to op plugins

I would expect to be prompted for the first "gh" command in a 24 hour window for a given application, not every. single. one.
