Bitwarden, SSH-Keys and -Agent under MacOS

along time i was looking for a #Passwordmanager how synchronize my Passwords, Pass- and SSH-Keys. At the begin with #Bitwarden, i was lucky that he synchronized my Passwords. Later my Pass-Keys, too.

But since 2025.1.2 #Bitwarden can Manage SSH-Keys and provide a SSH-Agent, too.

On MacOS it is necessary, that you configure the SSH-Agent that have to be used. Bitwarden provides the Information within a excellent Documentation.

Long Story short, for the Store-Version of Bitwarden:

Add the following Line to your .xxxrc or .xxxprofile -file to link to the Bitwarden-SSH-Agent and re-open your commandline.

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=~/Library/Containers/com.bitwarden.desktop/Data/.bitwarden-ssh-agent.sock

After them, and the enabled Function in Bitwarden, you can use Bitwardens SSH-Agent with your synchronized Keys.
