Can I encrypt files using my SSH keys in 1Password

in SSH

It appears this is not possible from the app, but wondering if it's possible from the terminal. 1Password CLI is installed and 1Password SSH agent is running.

Also have GPGTools installed - but trying to move away from it.

Thanks,
festus

    Hi @festus777

    The 1Password app and CLI do not support encrypting files with SSH keys. As far I know, ssh agents in general are not meant for encrypting data, so I don't think any SSH agent will allow this.

    On the other hand, if you'd like to sign files (or any data) with it, you can just use the ssh-keygen command with the -Y sign and -U flags.

    Could you tell me more about your use-case? What would you like to encrypt with your SSH keys?
