in SSH

So I have created several SSH keys on 1Password.

Now I am trying to creating a Server item on 1Password, and I want specify this server is using one of SSH keys I stored on 1Password:

How can I do that?

1Password Version: 8.10.16
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 14.0
Browser: Not Provided

    I don't think you do. I think you create SSH keys in 1P, set 1P as your IdentityAgent (IdentityAgent "~/.1password/agent.sock"), and it cycles through keys and tries them on whatever server you're sshing into.

    These means if you have sshd configured to only allow something like 5 tries and you have 15 ssh keys stored in 1P, you might not authenticate, btw.

    Unless you match the key with a host in your SSH configuration (so not in 1Password itself):
