SSH Agent Not Working on macOS 12.4
After following this guide: https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/get-started , I enabled the SSH Agent on mac0S and I added the agent config to ~/.ssh/config as prescribed in Step 4 and verified that everything was enabled as prescribed in Step 3:
However, I'm not able to authenticate. When I go to SSH, I get the following error:
```
user@computer Downloads % ssh user@server -L 2244:localhost:2244
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "id_rsa_key1" from agent: agent refused operation
user@server: Permission denied (publickey).
```
When I run that, I get a prompt to use TouchID and then I get the failure message shown above.
I checked the key and confirmed that its RSA:
user@computer Downloads % ssh-keygen -l -f id_rsa_key1.key
4096 SHA256:********** no comment (RSA)
I also checked for identities and get nothing:
user@computer Downloads % ssh-add -l
The agent has no identities
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I should add that in my case. I have two 1Password.com Accounts configured. The SSH key item is in the Private vault of one of the configured accounts. Could this be related to having two 1Password.com accounts?
