SSH Error Message: sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA from agent: agent refused operation

Hi.

I'm having a problem with the SSH agent. I authenticated once, then got the following error message. Now I'm not prompted to authenticate, I just get the error message.


sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "..." from agent: agent refused operation

(I've replaced my key location with ...)

This is a standard git operation, but no ssh operations seem to be working (I tried SSHing into a server and got the same error message).

I've tried several shells, including bash, zsh, and fish.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you see anything appear in the 1Password logs when you run the failing SSH command? On macOS: ~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/Data/logs/1Password_rCURRENT.log
