Windows SSH Agent without Windows Hello?

Thanks all for your patience and feedback. We've been working on removing the Windows Hello requirement for SSH and have a solution that we'll be launching soon! You can already try it out today if you're interested to take it for a spin. You can find more information in our Developer Slack workspace.

Hi @floris_1P,

thank you very much for sharing this.
I have tested it and as far as I can say, this works like a charm. :-)

The only thing that could be improved indeed is, if 1password is already unlocked, the entering of the password should not be necessary.
Confirmation is ok, but entering the password again, takes a lot of time.

Any news on when this will be released?

@jhooks It's been out for a few months already. So you should be able to turn on the SSH agent without having Windows Hello enabled.

Fair enough, I was following the learn more link in the 'Developer' tab - which still lists it as a requirement (https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=oph&utm_campaign=windows)

In that case, any idea why the option 'Set Up SSH Agent...' is greyed out? Both options SSH Agent and CLI are greyed out for me.

What I'm seeing is

@jhooks Which version of 1Password are you on?

Hi @floris_1P - 8.10.3 ... seems pretty out of date, I'll get that fixed and let you know if that resolves my issue.
