Prompted every time I need to sign a git commit or tag
I have 1Password set up to sign git commits and tags in both Windows and WSL (I use the latter most for development). Starting a few months ago but getting increasingly frustrating (especially when I rebase a lot of commits), I'm prompted every time I need to sign.
My ~/.gitconfig is set up like so (relevant settings shown):
[user]
signingkey = ssh-ed25519 PUBKEY
[core]
sshCommand = ssh.exe
[gpg]
format = ssh
[gpg "ssh"]
program = "/mnt/c/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/op-ssh-sign-wsl.exe"
[commit]
gpgsign = true
[tag]
gpgsign = true
`ssh-add -L` (both the ELF executable in WSL as well as running the PE/COFF `ssh-add.exe`) shows my ssh auth and signing keys.
1Password - the desktop app - is also configured to only prompt when 1Password is locked or after 4 minutes. I get this same prompt-on-every-use behavior whether 1Password is open and unlocked or not. Works as expected for my browser extension, though.
I found a post from about a year ago that someone resolved a similar behavior by re-installing 1Password. I may try that, but would rather hear from a dev to troubleshoot the issue in its current state so a proper fix could be made so this doesn't keep happening after winrot or whatever is causing this happens again to anyone.

Hey!
Just wanted to confirm I have the same issue. I use 1Password on macOS as well where this setup works as expected and I'm only prompted once until 1Password is locked.
For WSL under Windows 11 I get prompted every time I sign a commit, however not when actually using ssh, e.g. when pushing a commit to GitHub.
Setup is similar as op, except I use alias/symlinks for `op-ssh-sign` (pointing to `op-ssh-sign-wsl.exe`), `ssh` and `ssh-add` - all pointing to the `.exe` varaint. `ssh-add.exe -l` shows my signing (and auth) key. I,ve configured the developer settings to remember my key approval "until 1Password locks".

Hey Heaths! That sounds really frustrating. Apologies for the delayed response here. Let me ask around internally and get you an answer :)
