Allowing "Authorize" button press for SSH keys when Touch ID is enabled
Touch ID support in 1password broke on my machine recently—I fixed it by resetting 1password and now all is well again.
But while it was disabled, I noticed that accessing SSH keys while 1password was unlocked only required a simple button press of Authorize rather than having to type the 1password password every time.
Like many devs, I use an external keyboard and my laptop is quite far away from where I'm typing. When 1password is unlocked, it's a bit of a pain to have to press the Touch ID button every time I use an SSH key by for example signing a commit or pulling/pushing to GitHub in a new terminal window.
Given 1password is unlocked, and I could access the SSH key directly, it feels like having the "Authorize" button and not requiring Touch ID in this situation would be a usability improvement without sacrificing security?

I am also very much looking forward to the implementation of this option. Sometimes I need to access a Mac with Touch ID Enabled via remote desktop and use SSH client, but 1Password completely blocks the ability to authorize SSH key access using the "Authorize" button or the 1Password master password, which forces me to disable Touch ID in order to SSH to the remote server via remote desktop.
