SSH agent repeatedly prompts after wake from sleep

Hey there! I've been using the new SSH agent in 1Password 8, and I'm a huge fan! It works great with all of the programs I use, except for one little annoyance with JetBrains IDEs where 1Password's SSH agent prompt repeatedly appears even after authorizing or denying access.

I believe it's related to the fact that I'm using the GitToolBox plugin and have enabled the "auto fetch" feature on a 15-minute interval.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install the GitToolBox plugin in a JetBrains IDE and enable auto fetch.
  2. With the IDE open, put the machine to sleep.
  3. Wake the machine after a duration that's at least some multiple of the interval chosen for the auto fetch. (As far as I can tell, the longer the machine is sleeping, the more prompts will be enqueued.)
  4. Observe the 1Password SSH agent prompt requesting permission for the IDE.
  5. Either authorize or deny the request, and watch another prompt immediately appear.
  6. Continue to work your way through however many prompts have been enqueued, or quit 1Password to make it stop.

I'm not sure if this is something that would need to be addressed in 1Password, in JetBrains IDEs, or within the GitToolBox plugin. I thought I'd start here since the 1Password SSH agent is the newest piece in the puzzle.

Thanks!
