Unable to use private keys on filesystem after upgrading to macOS Monterey

IT finally allowed me to upgrade from macOS Big Sur (11.6.4) to Monterey (12.2.1).

However, I now can no longer use private keys on the filesystem?

➜ git pull
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "/Users/me/.ssh/keys/private/company" from agent: agent refused operation
me@company@company.com: Permission denied (password,publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

This is my ~/.ssh/config file:

CanonicalizeHostname yes

Include config.d/*

Host *
    PreferredAuthentications publickey
    PasswordAuthentication no
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    AddKeysToAgent no

Host !*.company.com, *
   IdentityAgent "~/.ssh/.1password/agent.sock"

This is a major problem, since I need this for one RSA 2048 bits key (the key for this company!) because the 1Password SSH agent does not support it...

How can I fix this?

(This setup worked fine on macOS Big Sur)

1Password Version: 80600050 (Nightly)
Extension Version: n/a
OS Version: macOS Monterey 12.2.1

    Forgot to post the company specific config file in the config.d folder:

    Host *.company.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/company.key
    User me@company.com
    UseKeychain yes

    Update: I noticed that ssh-add -l listed this non-supported key as well. After moving it to the Archive in the 1Password GUI, I can use the private key on the filesystem again.

    PS: In case anyone notices an inconsistency in the paths; that was just me cleaning up the real names differently before posting here…
