I don't think you do. I think you create SSH keys in 1P, set 1P as your IdentityAgent (IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock"), and it cycles through keys and tries them on whatever server you're sshing into.

These means if you have sshd configured to only allow something like 5 tries and you have 15 ssh keys stored in 1P, you might not authenticate, btw.
