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...

Actually, turns out that the quoting abilities of SSH are rather limited and you cannot embed or escape quotes within quotes, meaning I cannot do something like Match host * exec "test -z \"$SSH_CONNECTION\"" or Match host * exec 'test -z "$SSH_CONNECTION"'.

I did find out another way of checking string length in POSIX shell, though, so I could do this instead:


Match host * exec "test ${#SSH_CONNECTION} == 0"
IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock"
