Excessive SSH Key Requests
I really like the SSH key feature. Since some of my apps will try to make github connections using my SSH key in the background even when I'm not actively in front of my computer, I am frequently enc...
I just wanted to add to this and say that the feature is great, but as other have said there are an excessive number of dialogs, both overnight and during normal workflows.
The remembering behaviour for authorisation per process is really inconsistent. GitHub Desktop will normally ask for one request and then continue to work without subsequent requests for a while, but at some point, it fails and consistently asks for every request after that.
Likewise, Jetbrain IDEs (Pycharm, Clion etc.) all request SSH auth through a jetbrains-toolbox entity and these requests for a key unlock occur on every request, rather than once for the process. This normally means a git push requires over 2-3 authorisations which is not a great user flow.
In short, I love this feature and the direction of travel, but until the remembering behaviour and mass of dialogues are resolved I'm going to have to stop using it for now as it's rather getting in the way.
This is on Windows 11 and with 1Password Version "1Password for Windows 8.7.0" (80700095, on BETA channel)
