Constantly asking for unlock
I get this prompt all the time, its pretty annoying. How can I disable it?

For the last few days I have removed this from my
~/.ssh/config
file
Host *
IdentityAgent "~/Library/Group Containers/...com.1password/t/agent.sock"
And the prompt has stopped bugging me.
I also came across this https://1password.community/discussion/139368/how-to-uninstall-the-ssh-agent, although it doesnt say if its the same prompt or the SSH prompt. - 1P_Dave

Thank you for the reply. The SSH key prompt looks a little different from the prompt in your screenshot. Can you tell me if you have the following turned on:
- Open and unlock 1Password for Mac.
- Click on 1Password next to the  in the menu bar.
- Click Settings.
- Click General.
- Is "Keep 1Password in the menu bar" turned on? If it isn't then can you turn it on and tell me if you still see the issue?

The prompt shows up randomly without me trying to open the app or fill out login details. Ive setup 1P to use with my SSH keys, could that be triggering it this way?

Hello apomarinov! 👋
Thank you for reaching out! You'll see that prompt if 1Password is locked but you try to use 1Password, either by opening the app or filling login credentials using Universal Autofill.
You can change how often 1Password locks: How to set 1Password to lock automatically
Let me know if that doesn't help.

I get this every 20 or so minutes. How do I get rid of it?
