    Hi kjdsahtdsjighsdkjgs​,

    I was working on getting this up and running, but alas you will need the 1Password Client installed with a GUI to be able to manage the SSH-Agent.  I'm sorry it just won't work without it.

Is there no plans to make this work? This render any remote host dev work simply pointless and it is incredibly irritating that the terminal would not prompt for the user to input the credentials.

Maybe a hook can notify on the phone of the user to request for approval or something like that? Anything at all rather than the client waiting forever would be good.

The only alternative so far is to use a second SSH key to do everything while in CLI.
