[BUG] Blurry app icon in SSH prompt

In the 1Password SSH authorization prompt, some requesting app icons are rendered extremely blurry/low-resolution. In my case, the Obsidian icon appears pixelated/blurry in the 1Password prompt, even though the same app icon appears sharp everywhere else in macOS.

This seems isolated to the 1Password prompt rather than a general Obsidian or macOS icon issue. Obsidian’s icon renders correctly in Finder, Quick Look, and normal app contexts, and the app bundle appears to contain high-resolution icon assets. Reinstalling 1Password did not fix the issue.

My suspicion is that the 1Password SSH prompt is either:

  1. resolving the icon from the wrong process/app bundle, possibly an Electron helper process;
  2. receiving a low-resolution icon from macOS/LaunchServices and not requesting a better representation; or
  3. caching/downsampling/rendering the app icon incorrectly inside the SSH authorization UI.

This does not appear to affect functionality or security, but it makes the prompt look broken and makes it harder to visually identify the requesting app.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Use 1Password’s SSH agent on macOS.
  2. Trigger an SSH operation from Obsidian, for example through a Git pull/push/sync flow that requires an SSH key.
  3. Wait for the 1Password SSH authorization prompt.
  4. Observe the requesting app icon shown in the prompt.

Expected result: the Obsidian icon should be sharp/high-resolution, matching the icon shown in Finder, Quick Look, Dock, etc.

Actual result: the Obsidian icon in the 1Password SSH prompt is blurry/low-resolution/pixelated.

Debugging steps already tried
  • Checked Obsidian’s app icon in Finder and normal macOS UI. It appears sharp.
  • Checked the icon with Quick Look. It appears sharp.
  • Confirmed that high-resolution icon assets exist in the Obsidian app bundle.
  • Tried clearing/rebuilding the macOS icon cache.
  • Restarted Finder/Dock/icon-related services.
  • Quit and relaunched 1Password.
  • Restarted/reopened the 1Password app and related helper processes.
  • Fully reinstalled 1Password.
  • The issue still persists after reinstalling 1Password.
