Hi,
Yes I still have to unlock the gui app very frequently to be able to use env vars or ssh keys. I had set 1Password to not lock on sleep and set after idle to never and was still experiencing this.
The experience was so bad I’ve ended up removing my env vars and ssh keys from 1p.
I had Touch ID enabled. The authentication is not the issue for me (this is expected and secure) it’s the fact I have to open the desktop gui app and unlock, then run a 1p cli command, before I’m able to git pull (for example). Having to do this upwards of 5-6 times a day especially when in flow state developing is just a non option for me. I’ll retry this as an option later on in the year, but for now it is not a workable solution
