Support a shared session across terminals?

As a software engineer, I regularly use iTerm with multiple tabs, and multiple split-screen sessions per tab. So after I reboot my computer and re-open iTerm, I suddenly get hit with 10–40 1Password prompts in quick succession as each session in each tab asks for my permission.

I've read https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/security#authorization-model, and it sounds like prompting for each and every single new CLI session is intentional.

Would it be possible for 1Password's SSH/CLI support to support a shared session state where I only need to approve once at the beginning? Then support whatever timeouts are used for subsequent re-authentications?

    Ryan_Parman In the latest beta, you can now configure the SSH agent authorization model to not prompt for each terminal tab, but only once per application. Let me know if that improves things for you!

    We're working on more customization in this area, stay tuned!

    This could also be cross-posted to CLI since some of these auth requests are coming from op too.
