After enabling the ssh agent (with or without the key name option) and editing ~/.ssh/config, I tried the suggested command and got the following output (without any prompt from 1password). 1password was running with an open window and unlocked.

$ ssh -T git@github.com sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519 "" from agent: agent refused operation git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

Here's a truncated snippet from the verbose output that indicated that git was indeed getting the key from 1password.

$ ssh -T git@github.com -vvv ... debug1: Reading configuration data /home/andrea/.ssh/config debug1: /home/andrea/.ssh/config line 1: Applying options for * ... debug1: Will attempt key: ED25519 SHA256:u+azOc2MbA21U3SSq2Lj768c6ApkOV5f9wCmnPLLFkc agent ... debug1: Offering public key: ED25519 SHA256:u+azOc2MbA21U3SSq2Lj768c6ApkOV5f9wCmnPLLFkc agent ... debug1: Server accepts key: ED25519 SHA256:u+azOc2MbA21U3SSq2Lj768c6ApkOV5f9wCmnPLLFkc agent debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: ED25519 SHA256:u+azOc2MbA21U3SSq2Lj768c6ApkOV5f9wCmnPLLFkc debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: signing using ssh-ed25519 SHA256:u+azOc2MbA21U3SSq2Lj768c6ApkOV5f9wCmnPLLFkc sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519 "" from agent: agent refused operation ... git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

@floris_1P is this the same as building from git? I'm supposedly on the latest version (80600043, on BETA channel) and this is still not fixed, I can't see the release channel in Arch though.

After the update to 8.6.0_51.BETA-51 the behaviour is back to the one of the first post.
The only difference is that now the username@hostname is correctly shown in the error:

$ ssh -T git@github.com sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519 "lupolucio@spettro" from agent: agent refused operation git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

After seeing another post I've tried the following:

$ ssh-add -l Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

With the 8.6.0_68.BETA-68 update it now works correctly.
Thank you very much for the support.

It worked for me after removing github entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts

It looks like this issue is back with 1Password 8.7.0-49.BETA and OpenSSH_9.0p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1n 15 Mar 2022. Explicitly specifying an identity (ssh -i) works around it for me.

@mjec So you're seeing agent refused operation on every SSH request? If so, do you see anything in the 1Password logs appear when you run a failing SSH command? On Linux: $HOME/.config/1Password/logs.

Or could it be that you're seeing Too many authentication failures?

Thanks for the speedy response @floris_1P! I was seeing agent refused operation but that appears to have gone away today. Apologies for the false alarm. I think something was wrong with my polkit setup.
