I'm testing out using FIDO2 keys for SSH, never tried it before.

It works really well, if I just directly tell it which IdentityFile to use.
But if I get ssh-agent involved, I suddenly had to fight with ssh-askpass, where apparently my choices are limited to separate GUIs that pop up?
Is there no option to just have it ask for the PIN in the terminal?

I'm likely just holding it wrong, I've always avoided using the normal ssh-agent.

@jana I have no problems on FreeBSD with this. I use keychain from funtoo, and resident keys, without issue. I have a short function to run at login to load the key via pin, and then after that it’s touch and go each time. I can dig out some notes if you need it.
