We’re excited to announce that AbsoluteTelnet/SSH now supports external authentication agents! 🎉
This means you can now use your favorite agent—like OpenSSH Agent, PuTTY Pageant, or the 1Password SSH agent—to manage your keys securely. Unlock your private key once and reuse it across all your AbsoluteTelnet sessions without re-entering passphrases.
Why this matters:
- Better security – private keys stay inside the agent process
- Improved convenience – unlock once, connect everywhere
- Seamless compatibility with tools you may already use
We’ve also added support for agent forwarding and 1Password bookmarks, making your workflow even smoother.
