Hi,

I'd like to support previous request. Being able to use 1Password ssh agent (off-the-shelf) with PuTTY and its derivatives (all the producs relying on it) would be great as it is probably what is used by many Unix users on Windows. 

In the meantime, it'd be good if the solution mentioned above, relying on WinSSH-pageant proxy from Nathan Beal (https://github.com/ndbeals/winssh-pageant) would help a lot. On Windows 11, it is working like a charm and the installation is not more difficult than (as explained on WinSSH-pageant site):

  • Installation: winget install winssh-pageant
  • Startup: double click on winssh-pageant short cut in $HOME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

    Hi mijou​ ,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'll get this in front of the team.  Thanks for sharing your interim fix as well. No promise on timing, but it helps to know that this is still a valid request.

    Regards,
    Phil
