Forwarding biometric auth?
I have the following use case: I have an SSH connection open from a machine that's running 1Password to a Linux machine where I want to use the 1Password CLI tool. Is there any way to make `op signin` trigger biometric authentication back to the machine I'm initiating the SSH from? Basically I want functionality similar to ssh-agent, but for my 1Password vault. I'd be willing to write some code to enable this if it's something that the API supports.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for writing in, in short no. Biometric auth is limited to the local host, but you can use Service Accounts (available via Family/Business Accounts) to provide access to a specific Vault and Item (password) on the remote machine. Depending on your environment, you can use either the 1Password CLI or the SDK (TS, Go, Python).
Here are some links to learn more:
