Would it be possible to add similar support for GPG keys?

I'm still super interested in this because I'd like to be able to more natively use 1password as the central hub to store keys used to sign published artifacts generated in CI. It'd be super-handy if I could easily generate a new signing subkey and revoke one which was compromised when a CI system's cloud provider gets hacked again, all without having to change a thing about the ci logic. Bonus points for also auto-publishing to one or more keyservers on-change. For one example. Right now I have to locally export a key, import that into 1password as a text field, then have automation fetch the armored key before importing it into a local agent, etc. It's kind of a convoluted process compared to something like telling a package signing process to just use a local key agent which can just speak to 1password connect -- for another example. :) Git commit signing is technically on the list, but more of a side effect to me personally.

I think they're hoping everyone storing PGP keys is using them for signing commits and as people discover it can be done with SSH, they'll give up asking for the feature. There are indeed those of us from the '90s still using S/MIME and encrypting blocks to others who want 1Password to be the one stop secret shop.

Big +1 SSH commit signing is fine until you need to rotate keys. Revoking a GPG key will continue to show commits in GitHub (unsure about GitLab) as "verified (expired)". The only way I've found to do the same with SSH keys is to remove the old key completely, but then commits show as "unverified" which defeats the point of supply chain integrity since it's not possible to distinguish a commit that was signed with an old key, or a commit that was not signed, or signed with another key that's not allowed. The alternative is to not rotate signing keys, but then you compromise supply chain integrity further by not ensuring keys are rotated in a timely fashion.

Very interested in this as well.

Hey folks! Love to see the enthusiasm here and we are definitely evaluating this to add going forward 😄 Stay tuned!

Would love to see this feature added. I can think of several use cases:
1. Restoring keys (ssh/gpg) for developers when transitioning new laptops/workstations, etc.
2. This gets around the issue that now GitLab is experiencing where they're getting a flood of requests for ssh signing support, specifically because 1Password added this feature. LINK to JIRA Open Ticket
3. It could provide some great synergy between apps like GPG Keychain (for macOS) and 1Password for better/smoother development workflows.

Would love to see where this feature goes...I would be all over it day one, and would even beta test if you want (or if this is possible).

Really looking forward to that feature!
I'm also using GPG keys to sign git commits to have verified commits, and I have configured the GPG to use Yubikey security key to access the private key. When I experienced the SSH workflow with 1Password, I think it will be awesome to have the same experience with GPG keys as well.

Hey @nrfirth - would you be willing to join our Developer Slack Workspace to chat with me about this more? You can join our Workspace here and then send me a DM (Tyler Durkin). I'd love to ask some additional questions if you have the time!

I would really appreciate the ability to store and use GPG keys as well. I recently switched to signing git commits with SSH keys instead (though GitHub only just started implementing the ability to use SSH for verified commits in vigilant mode) and 1Password works great there! GPG in 1Password would be icing on the cake!
