SSH Keys and CLI

ryder_hook · January 25

Hi all,

I'm quite new in using 1Password with SSH keys. But I already use the OpenSSH client with macOS and have installed the 1Password client. My SSH keys are stored in the 1Password vault. When I need one for a SSH connection, 1Password pops up and asks for authorisation. So far, so good.
But sometimes I work remotely. This means I use my MAC as a jump host, accessing it using SSH. Now I want to connect from there using SSH. But now I can't use Touch ID authentication.

So how can I get my SSH key with the 1Password CLI client in this situation?
Any help would be appreciated.

ciao

If you're already using 1Password SSH Agent you want to enable SSH Agent forwarding (add ForwardAgent yes to your ~/.ssh/config). This will allow you to use the 1Password (or any SSH agent) on remote hosts where you're logged in via SSH.
