Suppressing popup for SSH
I have me SSH Keys in 1password, and using Iterm2 to connect to a remote server, I get a popup from 1password - with the text "1Password is trying to allow "iTerm2" to use the key "id_rsa" for SSH" with a Cancel and an "Allow Access" button.
Is there any way to suppress this - it's an annoying intermediary step clicking the "allow access" to get in.

It isn't possible to completely suppress these prompts, however there are settings which will reduce the frequency of the prompts.
You can check 1Password Settings > Developer > Security dropdown and change the "Ask approval for each new" and "Remember key approval" settings to something other than the defaults, there's more about this on our docs at https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/get-started#adjust-your-authorization-options.
You can also tick "Approve for all applications" directly in the new auth prompt which will allow the agent to act more similarly to the standard OpenSSH behaviour for a given SSH Key, there's also more about this on our docs at https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/get-started#in-the-authorization-prompt.
Does this improve the experience for you?
