To use 1password ssh key or envars, I have to unlock 1password desktop first

In Settings->Security, do you have "Lock 1Password when computer locks" checked? Unchecking might fix your issue.

Hey @caligula I just want to check in to see if you're still experiencing this issue. The above suggestion could help reduce frequent account locking. Also, if you're able to, I'd suggest https://support.1password.com/touch-id-mac/ so that you can more quickly authenticate SSH commands; otherwise you'll need to type your password in the desktop app whenever 1Password is locked and you wish to use the SSH Agent.

Hi,
Yes I still have to unlock the gui app very frequently to be able to use env vars or ssh keys. I had set 1Password to not lock on sleep and set after idle to never and was still experiencing this.
The experience was so bad I’ve ended up removing my env vars and ssh keys from 1p.
I had Touch ID enabled. The authentication is not the issue for me (this is expected and secure) it’s the fact I have to open the desktop gui app and unlock, then run a 1p cli command, before I’m able to git pull (for example). Having to do this upwards of 5-6 times a day especially when in flow state developing is just a non option for me. I’ll retry this as an option later on in the year, but for now it is not a workable solution

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