Authenticate using CLI (non-gui)
I have enabled the 1Password SSH Agent which works fine, apart from one usecase: accessing my computer remotely and then trying to access other SSH hosts. It then prompts for a password using the GUI...
Yes, I do, but as previous discussions have shown I https://1password.community/discussion/136955/exotic-possible-to-make-1password-browser-extension-connect-to-1password-over-ssh-or-other-means, so I am not sure how that plays in?
Here is the typical usecase:
I am at home and remember I forgot to push some code to Github when I was at work. So I
1. ssh into my work computer
2. find the folder and do git push
3. Realise the git push command never exits, as 1Password has now started a prompt in the GUI (which I cannot see in the terminal)
4. Give up (or configure ssh to use a key not provided by 1Password, which is less ideal)
After unlocking 1Password the first time it is integrated with the operating system lock, so the prompt to unlock is probably the operating system unlock prompt. Or it is the dialogue that asks to permit the terminal to use the Github SSH key, if I hadn't done that previously in the same session.
