What can I do without Windows Hello?

Thanks for adding SSH, this looks great! Unfortunately, I am prevented by my company from configuring Windows Hello on my work laptop. I'm just trying to understand what the limitations will be without it. The 1Password SSH agent is unavailable, and I assume this is the reason why? I believe I would still be able to create and store SSH keys in 1Password, and fill them in web pages, but CLI tools would not be able to pull the keys from 1Password.

Does that sound correct? Anything else I should know about?

Thanks.

1Password Version: 8.6.0
Extension Version: 2.3.0
OS Version: Windows 10

    Just saw a https://1password.community/discussion/127269/windows-ssh-agent-without-windows-hello in the SSH Beta forum. Windows Hello is indeed required to use the SSH agent right now. Entering your password will be added as an alternative at some point.
