SSH agent requires restart between every GitHub request
I've been using the 1Password SSH agent to sign commits and authenticate with GitHub for months without any issues. Today, I started experiencing intermittent SSH timeouts when trying to pull, fetch, or push:
ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.At first I assumed this was a GitHub outage, but I noticed that when 1Password prompted me to approve the SSH key, the request would succeed. After a while, the timeouts would return.
I changed "Remember key approval" from 12 hours to "until 1Password quits." This helped, but now I have to restart 1Password and re-approve the key between every single Git request, otherwise it times out again.
Environment:
- Windows 11
- Affects Git CLI, Git Fork, and VS Code
- Commit signing with the same key still works fine
What I've tried:
- Changing "Remember key approval" to "until 1Password quits"
- Restarting 1Password (temporarily fixes it for one request)
- Restarting my computer
Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is also affecting MacOS 26.1, currently running 1Password for Mac 8.11.20 (81120039). The ssh agent times out and is unusable. I had to remove ssh keys from 1password entirely and flip back to store on disk.
