3 years agoSSH agent fails with "sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation" first time
When I'm using 1password for my ssh auth on Windows 11 (OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2) - everything works ONLY IF I've already done the first 1password 'unlock' using my full password.

3 years agoI understand you're required to re-login after a lock or after some period... however, why doesn't the SSH agent 'pause' things just like it does when prompting for a windows Hello login? The way I'd expect it to work is exactly the same way as when unlocking with hello / pin.
when 'unlocked'
ssh login attempted -> (ssh client 'waits' here) -> hello prompt -> 1p unlocked -> ssh login completes
when 'locked'
ssh login attempted -> ssh login fails (agent issue?) -> 1p unlock prompt -> 1p unlocked -> nothing
Why wouldn't / couldn't the 'locked' scenario behave the exact same way as the top example? in both cases I'm unlocking / authing in some way... one of them just sort of fails, the other gracefully waits.
