SSH Agent Error: "error: Error: AppError { error: could not authenticate with ssh agent ..."
Hi,
I've been using SSH agent in 1Password 8 for both signing my commits and for authentication (push/pull).
The past couple of days I've been having this issue on my intel mac where it would n...
I had this to on Windows, exact same error message and "session was not authorized" in the logs. However I figured out the cause in my case. I was using Remote Desktop to connect to the machine. And if I use the computer directly it works just fine.
It seems to me Windows disables Windows Hello when connecting through a remote session and I guess 1Password fails to invoke authentication with Windows Hello which if I've understood it correctly this feature relies upon.
(At first glanse it might make sense to disable Windows Hello due to the biometric features however PIN would still work in a remote session in my opinion but that is a topic for Microsoft i guess)
I do realize that this is probably a limitation in Windows/Windows Hello but might I suggest that the op-ssh-agent.exe could verify if Windows Hello is available and if not throw a suitable error message?
Just trowing this out there as a possible cause if anyone else experiences this on Windows as well :)
