1Password for SSH & Git
SSH without the headache
Create and configure SSH keys, right in 1Password. Securely store, sync, and access them with the built-in SSH agent. Authorize SSH connections with biometrics – and even sign your Git commits.
Your SSH keys, made easy
No more juggling key files or ensuring they’re in the right spot. 1Password finds, imports, creates, generates, stores, and syncs your SSH keys with your services.
Humans are the weakest link in the chain and are often the target by malicious actors. By migrating your SSH keys to 1Password you are ensuring a smaller attack surface and saving yourself from having to type a (likely weak) password every time you need to sign a Git commit or connect over SSH.

Integrate with your existing SSH workflows
The agent configuration wizard makes enabling the 1Password SSH agent a breeze. Get up and running in under a minute.
Compatible with dozens of clients
Sign Git commits with your fingerprint
Store your SSH keys in 1Password and use them to authenticate and confirm that your Git commits came from you. Simplify key creation, storage, and setup for GitHub, GitLab, and other platforms.
I store my SSH key in 1Password and use it for both Git + SSH and commit signing. Signing SSH private keys meant I don’t have to bother with GPG. Every tool that wants access for auth or signing triggers a Touch ID prompt for 24 hour access. I’m pretty happy with the setup.

An agent config file allows you to choose the keys to use on that machine, and the order in which to use them, from any vault.
