3 years ago1Password asking for permission each time
When using 1Password for storing my SSH keys, it asks for authentication (here: fingerprint) each time a key is accessed. This is different from handling passwords for e. g. web forms: As long as 1Password isn't locked, I can fill the password fields.
As I very often access different machines, this annoys me already after one day ...
Is it possible to disable that behaviour?
1Password Version: 8.7.0 (80700012)
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 12.2.1 (21D62)

I'm using Linux, and working with IntelliJ. I have turned on using SSH keys for signing.
IntelliJ asks me all the time about my signing key password. In addition to that, doing git operations in my terminal asks me too.
If I'm going to guess, I would think that I'm typing the password 10-15 times day, compared to the old fashioned way with ssh-agent and gpg keys for signing. I have decided to turn 1password ssh functionality off, because this is just too much, unfortunately.
Hope this gets fixed, as I would like to use this feature.

I would really appreciate an option for requiring authorization only once for all applications on Linux, combined with the already existing options for how long the authorization should be remembered.
I usually close my terminal application(which i use for my ssh workflows) whenever im not using it, and it gets annoying having to input my password every time I do that since the current settings are not really remembered per application, but per each process.

This prompt requesting my approval to access a SSH key every time I open an application is really, really, reeeeeally annoying!

Moved to BitWarden. Enough of the "you're holding it wrong"
I had intended to stay with 1pw tbh, and workaround their strict ssh agent ideologies of prompt prompt prompt, run the usual ssh-agent and populate ssh-agent with "op read" cli however it doesn't maintain a local cache so each lookup takes a second to populate 6 ssh keys each startup is expensive time wise. using bitwarden cli I can populate ssh-agent as it maintains a local cache (does pass through writes and has
bw sync
- to collect remote writes), working beautifully...It's been fun, but ultimately this fingerprint/macbook via tmux obsession of 1pw devs has lead me to a better place, basics like new entry fields are masked by default too, and cheaper too (but we are talking dollars a year still).
Thanks

Hey Jack_P_1P, I just updated to
1Password for Linux 8.10.0 (81000012)
and the setting does persist now.
Thanks!This at least saves some time entering passwords when working in tmux.

Hi @N33T:
I've just double checked, and today's beta release contains a fix for the setting not persisting after 1Password is quit. After updating, let me know if you're still running into trouble.
