SSH Agent

Options

Is there plans to implement SSH agent?

  • Not at present. But we're curious, what would you want to use it for?

    I would like an ssh agent, to log in to the command line interface on UNIX and LINUX systems.

    There's no Lonux client, CLI or GUI.

    Still, this would be useful. There is a neat little extension for KeePass2 (KeeAgent), which acts as an ssh agent. So you store your private key in your password database (vault) as an attachement, include the key-phrase and when you open a putty session or another ssh session from a cygwin bash for example, the key is automatically retrieved, as long as your database is currently open.

    This is a huge timesaver and I would love to see a similar feature in 1password.

    Any chance for that to happen?

    I've heard of no plans for such a feature, @pauxus‌. Thanks for letting us know it would be useful to you!

    +1 on that

    maybe also consider the already closed thread with lots of +1s here:

    +1 here. I'm a new user and would welcome integration with Putty for Windows, and Terminal for Mac. Otherwise, I have to type in passwords, which then makes it more than my "One Password" I have to remember and type. Agile should look to dominate every possible place a pw needs to be input.

    A Linux client would be great too.

    @kazooless‌ The only password manager that could (somewhat) achieve what you ask right now is KeePass with KeeAgent plugin for SSH. I don't think there's Terminal support though.

    Anyway, is there no possibility to copy-paste into putty ? I 'm sure i was able to do it and not simply type by hand.

    Auto-Type should work: https://guides.agilebits.com/1password-windows/4/en/topic/using-auto-type

    @svondutch I'll try the auto-type.

    @J.M. Copy-Paste works, but is obviously more clicking than a built-in feature, and is less secure.
