1Password SSH Agent - Multiple Vaults (non default)

Hi @ma3574:

Great question. 1Password accounts have a default vault, called the Personal vault in individual accounts, or the Private vault for all other account types. This vault has some unique characteristics, especially when working in accounts with other people. It isn't possible for this vault to be renamed (barring the exception below), or be shared with anyone else in your 1Password account.

The short version is you're running into an interaction of two separate things:

• There was a bug in previous versions of 1Password for Mac, where it was possible to rename this vault to a new name. We've resolved this bug, but any accounts that had this vault renamed were not changed back after the bug was fixed.
• As it currently stands, the SSH agent only presents SSH keys from your Personal / Private vault.

It sounds like you may have been using 1Password for Mac back when this bug was present, and renamed your Personal / Private vault to "Lastpass Import". As for why 1Password only uses SSH Keys from your Personal / Private vault, it helps ensure that you know exactly which SSH keys you're presenting.

We've had some success with using the affected version of 1Password 7 to rename the vault back to Personal or Private, but we've also had reports of it not running as expected on recent versions of macOS. You're more than welcome to give it a try: https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPM7#v70205002

Your ideal situation when it comes to vaults would be a Personal / Private vault containing what is currently in your "Main" vault, and then a "Lastpass Import" vault containing what's currently in your Personal / Private vault (although named "Lastpass Import").

Let me know if you're able to use 1Password 7.2.5 to rename that vault, or if you're unable to get it working.
