Anybody use ssh_agent integration in keepassxc -- if so, Why?
All, With the goofball 2FA the evil-empire is imposing on github, I have to actually commit to using keepassxc instead of my old favorite. In keepassxc, there is both browser and ssh_agent integration. Browser integration is easy enough to understand, keepassxc is simply used as the backend for password storage and the browser stores and retrieves passwords from an unlocked keepassxc instance. But what does ssh_agent integration do that ssh_agent doesn't already do? That's where I'm confused. ssh_agent is happily running and doing its job on Leap -- what does enabling integration in keepassxc buy you? https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_setting_up_ssh_agent_integra... doesn't really explain any benefit you gain other than having the key names in keepassxc.... Ummm... So what? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
