Request: option to allow SSH access when 1Password is locked?
I have 1Password set to auto-lock after 10 minutes of inactivity.
This means that in my daily workflow, I need to re-type my password every time I perform an SSH operation such as interacting with...
Lock after 10 minutes of inactivity is for lazy people who leave their PC alone without locking it. Such timeouts are a PITA, if you ask me.
Instead, educate yourself to lock your PC whenever you stand up. Make a habit: sitting in front of PC=unlock PC. Standing up from PC=lock PC before standing up, even if you intend to return in 1 minute. With Windows, this is just pressing WIN+L.
This way 1Password is inaccessible behind the PC lock and you can vastly increase or remove this inactivity timeout.
