3 years agoHi @Hollow:
Thanks for reaching out about this! Just to confirm, are you SSHing into a device that also has 1Password installed and configured as its SSH agent?
The reason I ask is that when SSH agent forwarding is enabled, the agent on the remote host (in the environment variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK
) should be of the form: /tmp/ssh-abcdef/agent.123456
. If you're seeing /Users/bene/...
on that device, that would indicate that the host you've connected to also has 1Password configured as the SSH agent locally. Is this a situation where you have say a MacBook and an iMac or Mac Pro, and you're connecting from your MacBook to the iMac or Mac Pro? Let me know, and I can take a closer look at how to resolve this.
