Is there a way to prevent the dialog box from constantly popping up to ask for my session password?
EDIT: I was able to find the solution on the Polkit doc on the "Bypass password prompt" section

Thank you so much, it's now working perfectly :) .
I didn't find thisUnlock using system authentication service
in the doc, or maybe I missed it. - Former Member
You will need to enable
Unlock using system authentication service
underSecurity
in settings before you can enableSSH agent
. To enableSystem Authentication
you will need some kind of auth agent (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit). You can read what you need here, https://support.1password.com/system-authentication-linux/ - Former Member

Hi, @Ekami67 . To be clear, did you use the Arch Linux installations, or is this a Flatpak installation?
