How to configure 1pw ssh-agent to stop endless prompting

I reboot my linux desktop each day, and now use 1password to manage several private keys as my ssh-agent, each I day I have to unlock several times - just trust that with FDE and suitable workstation locking policy I know what I'm doing, having to type my system password every day several times is more insecure than just allowing the keys to remain unlocked per my request. Is there a way to override this opinionated behavior? Tempted to move back to keepassxc (their ssh-agent doesnt need this)

tl;dr instead of each application, application and terminal - just add "unlock forever, one-time"
