Hi, @Ekami67 . To be clear, did you use the Arch Linux installations, or is this a Flatpak installation?

You will need to enable Unlock using system authentication service under Security in settings before you can enable SSH agent. To enable System Authentication you will need some kind of auth agent (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit). You can read what you need here, https://support.1password.com/system-authentication-linux/

Thank you so much, it's now working perfectly :) .
I didn't find this Unlock using system authentication service in the doc, or maybe I missed it.

Is there a way to prevent the dialog box from constantly popping up to ask for my session password?

EDIT: I was able to find the solution on the Polkit doc on the "Bypass password prompt" section
