Because 1Password stores the SSH keys, it becomes easier, and less confusing, to manage keys over multiple devices.

This key does not grant access to GitHub’s infrastructure or customer data. This change only impacts Git operations over SSH using RSA.

GitHub has added support for securing SSH Git operations using FIDO2 security keys for added protection from account takeover attempts.

GitHub has revoked weak SSH authentication keys generated using a library that incorrectly created duplicate RSA keypairs.

At present, users can now use a password, personal access token (PAT), or an SSH key to access Git -- but the company intends to remove support for passwords later this year.
