Hello! I have no used ssh-copy-id, but from the docs it should use ssh-add -L to look for keys in the agent:

Otherwise, if this: ssh-add -L provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.

SSH for 1Password 8 supports ssh-add -L, however, at least on my machine, it won't read an IdentityAgent from ~/.ssh/config and requires the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable set.


SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$HOME/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock" ssh-add -L

I tested ssh-copy-id locally with the environment variable and it was able to successfully add a new key.

Are you able to test this environment variable with ssh-copy-id? Thanks!
