I see putty now allows you to configure pageant to let openSSH access keys via named pipes, and it can coexist with the built in Open SSH agent in Windows. It basically works like how you configure 1password on Linux and Mac, so taking over the named pipe shouldn't be neccessary. Any plans to change how it works on windows in the future? I fear that Windows or defender will suddently realize that this is not the correct process, and block it at some point.

Here's how Putty does it, section 9.3.3: https://tartarus.org/~simon/putty-prerel-snapshots/htmldoc/Chapter9.html#pageant-cmdline (yes, this is actually where putty stores it's documentation😪)

Also, any plans to include native support for putty/pageant? Alot of windows tools like WinSCP and Devolutions RDM uses Putty as it's backend, so it would be useful to have support built in. I got it working with Nathan Beals' WinSSH-Pageant, but would be super nice to have it built in😊
