Hi perhlom​ ,

I would like to add that I have recently started using 1Password for business and immediately was attracted to using 1Password to store my SSH private keys as it simplifies a whole lot of things. But here I am a few days after getting going with it and end up on the same recent community request for the same feature I'm looking for.

+1 this from me! 

I have somewhat worked around this by enabling a persistent ssh connection to server so the SSH key doesn't get revalidated unless the persistent connection closes. I use these settings in my SSH config

        ControlMaster auto
        ControlPath ~/.ssh/ssh-%r@%h:%p
        ControlPersist 1800
        ForwardAgent yes
        ServerAliveInterval 10
