1Password for SSH & Git

Introducing 1Password for SSH & Git, the single source of truth for all your SSH keys. With 1Password, you can:

A terminal with a git push command, overlaid with a 1Password authorization prompt to approve the request to use an SSH key.

The SSH agent works with your existing SSH clients and acts as their key provider. Use your keys in your SSH workflows, like when you work with Git to check code into source control, or when you log in to virtual machines.

1Password stores all your SSH keys behind secure end-to-end encryption, allowing you to access your keys when you need them without your SSH keys ever leaving 1Password.
