"The 1Password SSH agent now supports the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)"

I just saw this item from the 1P release note, which is exciting.

https://releases.1password.com/windows/beta/#1password-for-windows-8.10.16-26

It does not, however, explain how this works, nor seem the documentation to be up to date as I can't find any information about this. The in-app setting panel has not changed one iota.

I currently symlink /usr/local/bin/ssh to /mnt/c/... and thus use the Windows SSH client instead of the one from my distrib. It works fine until I have multiple SSH sessions open, and SSH hangs on logout (so not too impactful) until I close all of them.

I was hoping to use the distrib-provided client instead.

    That kind of sounds like you have connection sharing setup. -M/-S on the CLI or ControlMaster/ControlPath in .ssh/config. I don't know if that's default behavior in Windows SSH. I use WSL-provided ssh with npiperelay for 1PW agent access.

    I'm also curious about the line in the changelog.
