Hiya,

The op ssh-agent plays nice with gui apps which is nice. I use it with things like Sublime Merge and VSCode. However, the way VSCode appears to make multiple subsequent requests to the ssh-agent in a row, which can result in 2-3 successive auth requests.

Is it possible to allow some grace period to authenticate requests, from the same application, for like 1 second to reduce this kind of access to a single authentication request?

I can see their maybe being a security implication if you can ensure it's the same application requesting access, and another program could piggyback on that previous auth, maybe.

Anyway, this would be a really nice quality of life, if it can be done.

    Hi @jamesstidard,

    We took another approach to address the issue of successive authorization prompts but this issue should be solved in the latest nightly. Let us know if you still run into this after updating.

    Hi @Marton.Soos_1P,

    I seen someone made a similar post at around the time I made this one, and I started to follow that.

    And yeah, I've been using the pre-release builds, and has been behaving much better with this.

    Thanks
