if you have git configured to use an ssh key for signing or you do a push to GitHub or something using ssh, then yes, you'll have to approve it the first time you do a commit or a push in a vscode terminal. it also happens again after some timeout period.
Personally I don't see the issue. Until recently I had a 2015 iMac and I had to type in the password on these occasions. I did. I did not get mad.
Now I have an M1 Pro MBP and I can either use my watch to approve or use Touch ID to approve. I do. I do not get mad.

I also haven't had any issues with Face ID on iOS using 1Password 8, but maybe I'm just lucky.
