Working in VSC with 1p-SSH keys / Unlock 1p many times a day

I love to have SSH keys stored in 1password and not on the local disc any more. This makes my keys more "mobile".

But now with my setup on my daily basis I really have to often unlock 1password (with the fingerprint) within Visual Studio Code. When I leve the Mac and come back later, I have to unlock it again. And again. And again.'

In know: This is security basis of 1password. But with the comfort of have the SSH keys with me, I lost the comfort while using VSC. Is it possible to grand access for a session within VSC?

1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: 2.3.0
OS Version: maxOS 12.2.1

Had the same Problem with VS Code bringing up 1P’s auth window every other second. The culprit in my case was git’s "Autofetch" that was set to "true". I’ve set it to "false" and the problem was gone.

We're now suppressing SSH prompts from apps that run in the background to avoid unexpected prompts. This makes Git autofetch a more attractive option again.
